en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has completed 250 meters of underground excavation in the Orange Gate-Seaside Boulevard urban road tunnel project, using the largest slurry shield tunnel boring machine (TBM) for an urban road project in India.

The project involves laying a twin-tube tunnel with a total length of over 7 kilometers, with its excavation route passing beneath key transportation corridors such as the Central Railway, Western Railway, and Metro Line 3. The construction process requires high-precision engineering to operate under dense urban infrastructure.

Once completed, the project is expected to reduce travel time from Orange Gate to Seaside Boulevard to approximately five minutes. This tunnel will provide direct connectivity with the Coastal Road and Atal Setu, optimizing east-west traffic flow while helping to alleviate urban congestion and reduce vehicle emissions. The project is regarded as a significant milestone in the construction of Mumbai's next-generation transport infrastructure.
