Progress in Airoli Katai Naka project: Left tunnel ones in both sides

01 Feb 2023 CW Team

The final explosion for daylighting the ongoing Parsik Hills project's left side tunnel was made. The controlled blasting approach was used.

The tunnel on the Left Hand Side (LHS) of the Parsik Hills has been opened on both sides and is now fully tunnelled.

The Airoli Katai Naka Project is divided into three distinct segments. After the tunnelling work is over, the 3.4 km length between Thane Belapur Road and National Highway 4 would shortly be reduced to 1.69 km (under phase 1). Two tunnels, a road, and an elevated road are all part of the new section. The tunnels will have 4+4 lanes total, including 1+1 refuge lanes, per project specifications.

The New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM), a controlled blasting technique, is being used to construct the tunnels. Currently, 67% of the tunnel's construction is finished, with the remaining 35% still ongoing.

At the moment, travellers must divert from Mahape or Thane. This project will cut the distance between Kalyan-Dombivali and Navi Mumbai by 7 km. Commuters going to Kalyan, Dombivli, Ulhasnagar, Ambernath, and Badlapur will benefit immensely from the initiative.
