Kanpur Central-Transport Nagar tunnel completedThe Kanpur Metro Rail Project has reached a significant milestone with the completion of the first tunnel of the 4.24 km long Kanpur Central-Transport Nagar underground section under Corridor-1. The tunnel, constructed using a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) named 'Azad', spans approximately 1,250 meters from Kanpur Central to Nayaganj. This marks...
more... the first breakthrough for the project. The construction of the 'up-line' tunnel from Motijheel to Nayaganj has already been completed. Two TBMs, 'Azad' and 'Vidyarthi', are being used for tunnel construction. The tunnels will be built using the cut and cover method from a shaft near Swadeshi Cotton Mill, passing through Transport Nagar and Jhakarkatti underground stations, before reaching Kanpur Central. The managing director of UPMRC, Sushil Kumar, commended the entire team for their achievements, highlighting that the civil construction work in the Baradevi-Naubasta elevated section is also progressing rapidly. To expedite the project, the team is simultaneously carrying out system installation and track construction alongside tunnel construction.

Kanpur Central- Transport Nagar underground section mein tunnel construction ke liye 'Azad' aur 'Vidyarthi' TBMs use kiye ja rahe hain. Tunnels ko cut and cover shaft method se Swadeshi Cotton Mill ke paas se, Transport Nagar aur Jhakarkatti underground stations se hota hua Kanpur Central tak banaya jaega. UPMRC ke managing director, Sushil Kumar ne poori team ko is success ke liye congratulate kiya aur bataya ki Baradevi-Naubasta elevated section mein civil construction kaam bhi tez tareeke se chal raha hai. Time save karne ke liye, engineering team tunnel construction ke saath-saath system installation aur track construction ka kaam bhi kar rahi hai.
