Mumbai Completes Assembly of First TBM for Goregaon-Mulund Link Road Project
The Mumbai Municipal Corporation has completed assembling the first Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) for the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) project, marking a key milestone. The 83-metre-long TBM, designed with advanced Single Shield Earth Pressure Balance technology, will excavate one of two parallel 4.7-km tunnels connecting Goregaon and Mulund. After passing mechanical and safety tests, excavation will begin once all technical inspections are complete. The GMLR aims to provide a direct east-west link between Mumbai's suburbs, with project completion targeted by February 2029.
