Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the Thane Borivali Twin Tunnel project, for which MEIL is involved in the construction of two crucial segments.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has developed this project to enhance the connectivity between Thane and Borivali.
MEIL is executing these 3-lane twin tunnels, with a length of 5.75 kilometres and 6.09 kilometres respectively, which are India’s longest underground road tunnels. These tunnels will pass below Sanjay Gandhi National Park. For excavation purposes, we are utilising Tunnel Boring Machines at a Reduced Surface Level of 23 metres to ensure minimal impact on the surroundings, especially the park.
We are proud to be a part of this ambitious project, which is expected to reduce travel time between Thane and Borivali by over 50% while improving connectivity.
