Bengaluru to Begin 18-Km Tunnel Road

Bengaluru's civic body has successfully completed the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the city's ambitious 18-kilometer underground tunnel road network. The project aims to alleviate traffic congestion and improve urban mobility by creating a modern and efficient road infrastructure beneath the city's surface. Construction is expected to begin shortly, marking a significant step toward transforming Bengaluru's transport landscape.

This tunnel road project, part of Bengaluru’s efforts to develop state-of-the-art infrastructure, is designed to ease the growing traffic woes by bypassing surface-level congestion. The underground tunnels will not only help streamline traffic flow but also minimize disruptions to daily life by reducing surface construction and widening projects. This initiative is expected to benefit commuters by offering faster, uninterrupted routes.

The city’s growing population and rapid urbanization have led to increasingly severe traffic bottlenecks. The introduction of the underground tunnel system is a proactive measure to enhance connectivity across key areas of the city while contributing to the overall modernization of Bengaluru’s infrastructure. Experts believe the project will significantly improve traffic conditions, particularly in high-density zones where congestion is most acute.

The tunnel roads are designed with advanced engineering techniques to ensure safety, durability, and minimal environmental impact. Bengaluru's civic body is working in collaboration with top-tier construction and engineering firms to execute the project efficiently. The project is also aligned with the city's broader goals to promote sustainable urban development and eco-friendly transportation solutions.

Once completed, the underground road network is expected to transform the urban mobility scenario in Bengaluru, offering a smoother, more efficient travel experience for residents and visitors alike.

Kolkata Metro’s Orange Line Phase II deadline moved to March 2025

The completion date for the Orange Line's Phase II extension, stretching from Ruby to Sector V, has been shifted to March 2025. Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. (RVNL), the agency overseeing the project, initially aimed for a December 2024 deadline but cited a delay in bridging an 800-meter viaduct gap at Chingrighata as the reason for the revised schedule. Work to bridge an additional 125-meter gap at Metropolitan is ongoing. Despite land challenges at locations such as Tagore Park, Chingrighata, and Nicco Park, the corridor received safety approval from the Commission of Railway Safety (CRS) for opera..
