KRCL commences work for ₹658-cr tunnel in Kerala

Konkan Railway
The Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL) has launched the groundwork for the construction of a 6.8 km long tunnel between nearby Anakkampoyil and Meppadi in Wayanad, connecting Kozhikode and Wayanad districts in Kerala at an investment of ₹658 crore. KRCL has started a detailed survey for it. The project, lauded to be the longest in the state, would be a hassle-free alternative link to the present Thamaraserry-Lakkidi ghat road. The mega project is being financed through Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB). The tunnel starts at Swargamkunnu in nearby Kodenchery panchayat in Kozhikode district and will end at Kalladi near Meppadi in Wayanad district. A 12-member technical team, headed by senior section engineer, Murali, is working on the field investigation and land survey.
