Mumbai: MMRC completes 1117.5-m tunnelling on Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ Metro-3corridor

MMRC Managing Director Ranjit Singh Deol said: “This was indeed a challenging task as this particular stretch encompasses tunnelling below the buildings that are more than 80 years old and live western railway track between Mahalaxmi and Lower Parel Station. Our team has accomplished this tough task efficiently.”

Package-3, which includes Mumbai Central, Mahalaxmi, Science Museum, Acharya Atre Chowk and Worli Metro stations, is the longest stretch of the corridor and has now witnessed total three breakthroughs – (Science Museum to Worli) (upline–2072m and downline–2057m) and (Science Museum to Mahalaxmi) (upline–1117.5m).

The overall tunnelling completed on the corridor is 52.6km, which is approximately 96.5 per cent of the total project.
