The East-West Metro tunnel starting from Howrah Maidan is all set to reach the Hooghly riverbed by December this year, KMRC official sources said, elaborating that the tunneling for Phase-II of the E-W corridor started in Howrah on April 21. Work had been progressing smoothly, after some initial hiccups. There are two tunnels, of which nearly 300m of the Up tunnel (to Kolkata) and about 100m of the Down tunnel (from Kolkata) has been completed. Both tunnels will reach the Hooghly riverbed by December-January. If things moves on as per plans, the tunnel will cross the Hooghly and reach Mahakaran by July 2017, said Metro Railway spokesperson Indrani Banerjee.
