Mumbai Begins Construction of Rs 5,821 Crore Twin Tunnels Under Water Bodies
Mumbai is constructing a 3.9 km twin-tunnel corridor beneath Malad Creek, Poisar River, and mangrove areas, linking Mindspace in Malad West to Charkop in Kandivali. Part of the 22 km Versova-Bhayander Coastal Road, the Rs 5,821 crore project aims to reduce traffic on existing roads and protect the environment by avoiding tree felling. The tunnels, featuring three lanes each and emergency cross passages, will be built using tunnel boring machines and are expected to open by 2029.
