Borivali to Thane twin tunnel project: Tender for Rs 11,000 crore project floated by MMRDA
Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) has floated a tender inviting bids for the construction of an 11-km-long Borivali-Thane twin tunnel project beneath the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. The project is expected to involve an investment of Rs 11,000 crore.
The scope of the work involves a six-lane tunnel project including the design and construction of the twin-tube road tunnel, the approach road, and other civil works between the Thane and Borivali stretch. 11.8 km long tunnel road will link Tikujiniwadi in Thane to the Borivali end of the Western Express Highway and includes a 10.25 km double-lane tunnel, a 1.55 km junction, and two tunnels of 3+3 lanes each.
The project will reduce travel time between Thane and Borivali to 15-20 minutes from the current 1.5 hours and is set to be completed in two packages.
