Description
Description | The Shiradi and Agumbe tunnel projects are conceived to improve connectivity between Bengaluru and Mangaluru. The Agumbe proposal has reached the stage of inviting tenders for preparation of a detailed project report (DPR), while a joint working group is examining an integrated rail-and-road tunnel through Shiradi Ghat to create an all-weather transport corridor. The Shiradi tunnel project was first proposed by the Karnataka government in 2012 and has evolved into a combined rail-and-road project after years of delays and revisions. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) initiated the Agumbe tunnel proposal in 2021 as part of efforts to improve connectivity across the Western Ghats. |
