Taking the underground Thane-Borivali twin-tube tunnel one step closer to reality, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has applied for forest clearance for the twin tunnel that will pass below Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). The tender for construction of the Rs 14,400 crore tunnel has been finalised and work is expected to start in about eight months.
Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA, S V R Srinivas said, “The tender for construction has been finalised and work is expected to start after the monsoon, in about eight months. We have also approached the forest department to obtain forest clearance for the project.”
