Rail Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw will start the underground tunnel excavation work in Mumbai this Sunday. The work will take place between Vikhroli and Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) station. This is a major step for the country’s first Bullet Train project connecting Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
What is the special feature of this tunnel work?
For the first time in this project, a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) will be used for digging. This advanced machine helps in creating underground passages with more precision and speed. The excavation will focus on the stretch from Vikhroli to the BKC station in Mumbai.
Where is the work being carried out?
The construction is part of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail corridor. The specific focus right now is on the Mumbai section to ensure the train can move underground through the city’s busy areas without disturbing the surface traffic.
