10.25-km-long route, beneath SGNP, will reduce travel time between 2 spots to 15 min

The tunnel will be finished 5.5 years after the tender is awarded
Work on the 10.25-km-long Thane-Borivli underground twin tunnel project might start before monsoon if everything goes according to plan. The MMRDA has floated the tender in two packages. Metropolitan Commissioner S V R Srinivas said, “We have invited tenders in two packages for the twin tunnels. The project will provide excellent regional connectivity in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.”
The tenders for the project were floated on January 14, 2023, and the last date to submit the bids is April 4. The project will be constructed at an estimated cost of over Rs 11,000 crore and the twin tunnel will reduce the travel time between the two spots and help minimise traffic congestion on Ghodbunder Road in Thane.
