India: Tunneling for East West Metro project by Dipa Chakraborty
The tunneling for the mega infrastructure East West Metro project here has been completed.
The mega project to connect Howrah Maidan with Rajarhat Salt Lake area will cost about ₹8,474.98 crore. Of the 16.6 km line, about 10.8 km will be underground and the remaining will be an elevated corridor. Boring of tunnels under the river Hooghly to connect Kolkata and Howrah has been successfully completed in March 2017. These two tunnels running parallel to each other about 37 metre below the riverbed of Hooghly is what makes the project most interesting.
