Mumbai Advances Goregaon-Mulund Twin Tunnel Project Beneath National Park
Mumbai's Goregaon-Mulund Link Road project is progressing with the first tunnel boring machine, Tulsi, having excavated 183 metres through hard Deccan basalt beneath Sanjay Gandhi National Park. The 6.65-km twin tunnels aim to reduce east-west travel time from 90 to 20 minutes by 2028, passing deep underground to protect the forest and water table. The second tunnel machine, Vihar, has cleared technical tests and is expected to begin excavation by late October 2026, with each tunnel featuring three traffic lanes.
