As road infrastructure continues to evolve, the integration of IIT experts into the tunnel audit team is a strategic move aimed at future-proofing projects and ensuring they adhere to the highest standards. The partnership is anticipated to foster a synergy between academia and practical application, ultimately enhancing the resilience, efficiency, and safety of tunnel infrastructure within the broader road network.
