MEIL makes major breakthrough in Zojila La tunnel project
01 Jan 2022
Megha Engineering and Infrastructures (MEIL) completed the excavation of the second tube of Tunnel-1recently, bringing the strategic Zoji La tunnel one step closer to providing all-weather road connectivity between Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. T-1 has two tubes, each with a length of 448 m and 472 m. Officials claim that the difficult task was completed ahead of schedule. Tunnelling this stretch was difficult because water kept seeping in. The Zoji La project is 32 km long and is divided into two sections. Two twin-tube tunnels, five bridges, and two snow galleries will be part of the highway.
