The 9-km-long and 34-m-wide elevated road represents a unique engineering feat – it also includes the country’s longest (3.6 km) and widest (eight-lane) urban road tunnel. This development is expected to enhance connectivity, reduce travel time and improve overall traffic flow in the region. In the expressway project, Package 3 (over 10 km) and Package 4 (over 8 km) were constructed by Larsen & Toubro (L&T).
