Following breakthrough of Tunnel T3 between Buguda and Banigochha in Nayagarh district, the Khurda Road-Balangir New Rail Line Project in Odisha, India has marked progress.<\/p>\n
As confirmed by the East Coast Railway, this 2.6km-long tunnel was dug using the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM), which employs advanced excavation techniques.<\/p>\n
As the second-longest tunnel in the 301km rail line and the longest in Nayagarh district, this breakthrough is a key development in the project.<\/p>\n
Providing better connectivity between the eastern and western regions of Odisha, this tunnel features a 2-degree curve.<\/p>\n
Commented on the landmark, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said: “The breakthrough in the 2.6 km-long Tunnel T3 between Buguda and Banigochha stations on the Khurda-Balangir section in Odisha is a testimony to the progress of this vital project.”<\/p>\n
Seven tunnels within a 75km stretch between Daspalla and Purunakatak and the already completed T7, which measures 4.85km, are the contents of this rail project.<\/p>\n
The Eastern Ghats have posed challenges during the construction phase, but modern excavation methods have supported ongoing work.<\/p>\n
Involving 105.8km from Khurda Road to Daspalla and 109km from Balangir to Purunakatak, 215km of the rail line have been completed until now.<\/p>\n
The construction process on the remaining sections, including the stretch between Purunakatak and Adhenigarh, is undergoing and it is expected to conclude soon.<\/p>\n
Streamlining travel between Bhubaneswar and Balangir and improving overall transportation in the area, will be the advantages of the Khurda Road-Balangir rail line after completion.<\/p>\n
In order to boosting connectivity in Jammu & Kashmir, the Sonamarg tunnel, also known as the Z-Morh tunnel, was inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this week.<\/p>\n
The tunnel includes a 6.4km main passage, along with an egress tunnel and approach roads, forming part of a two-lane bi-directional road in Ganderbal district.<\/p>\n
The Sonamarg tunnel, which is located at an altitude of around 8,650ft, facilitates all-weather connectivity between Srinagar and Sonamarg, extending to Leh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
