With one more breakthrough last week, two of three tunnels on the new local train line of suburban corridor of Panvel-Karjat are now nearing completion with work on the longest tunnel just 200m away from completion.
The game changer Panvel-Karjat railway project is taking shape under MRVC’s Mumbai Urban Transport Project 3 (MUTP-3). A total of three tunnels (Total: 3,164m) i.e. Tunnel-1 (Nadhal Tunnel) of 219m, tunnel-2 (Wavrely tunnel) of 2,625m and Tunnel-3 (Kirawali Tunnel) of 320m are under construction as part of this project.
The existing old line caters to goods and a few long-distance passenger trains. The new double line corridor will enable local trains to run between Mumbai to Karjat via Panvel. It will also work as a catalyst of the fast-developing Panvel, Karjat and NAINA (Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area).
