Maharashtra: Breakthrough for India’s widest tunnel at Igatpuri

马哈拉施特拉邦：位于伊格德布里的印度最宽隧道取得突破性进展

IGATPURI (NASHIK): Ahead of Engineers’ Day, on Tuesday, a workforce of 1,500 workers, led by over 150 engineers, added yet another feather in Maharashtra’s cap by completing the end-to-end connectivity of India’s widest and fourth longest tunnel at Kasara Ghat near Igatpuri on the Nashik highway in a record two years.

伊格德布里（纳西克）：周二，在“工程师节”到来之前，1500名工人在150多名工程师的带领下，完成了印度最宽、第四长的隧道的端对端连接，该隧道位于纳西克高速公路伊格德布里附近的Kasara Ghat，2年内完成，创下新纪录。

The daylighting of the 8km twin tunnels, each 17.5m-wide, will help expedite completion of the 700km Mumbai-Nagpur Super Communication Expressway that aims to reduce travel time between the two cities to 8-9 hours from 14-15 now. Even the fastest train on the route takes 11 hours. Once operational, the Rs 2,745-crore twin-tunnel project—called Package 14 that connects Tarangpada village in Nashik district and Vashala village in Thane district—will cut travel time through Kasara Ghat to five minutes from 30-35 minutes.

这条长8公里、宽17.5米的双隧道将有助于加快700公里的孟买-那格浦尔超级通信高速公路的完工，该高速公路旨在将两座城市之间的旅行时间从现在的14-15小时缩短到8-9小时。即使是这条线路上最快的火车也要花11个小时。这一耗资274.5亿卢比的双隧道项目被称为Package 14，连接了纳希克地区的塔朗帕达村和塔纳地区的瓦萨拉村。一旦通车，穿越卡萨拉格特的旅行时间将从30-35分钟缩短至5分钟。

“Never in history, such a wide tunnel with 8km length has been completed in two years,” said MSRDC joint MD and PWD secretary Anil Kumar Gaikwad. Balance works include road laying and mechanical, electrical and plumbing works.

部长Anil Kumar Gaikwad说：“一条8公里长的宽隧道在两年内完工，历史上从未有过。”

工程包括铺设路面及机械、电气及管道工程。

The designed driving speed of the tunnel is 120km/hour and covers the gradient of 160m from near the hilltop close to Igatpuri to downhills near Vashala through the valley, said S G Paretkar, director and business unit head (hydro & underground works) for Afcons Infrastructure, which helmed the construction.

Afcons Infrastructure管兼业务部门主管(水电和地下工程)S G parekar表示，隧道的设计行驶速度为120km/h，从靠近伊格德布里的山顶到Vashala附近的下坡，经过山谷，坡度为160m。

莫迪让一切变得可能

Stupid ! This tunnel is being built by MSRDC ! Modi has nothing to do with it !

愚蠢！

这条隧道是由MSRDC(马哈拉什特拉邦道路发展公司)建造的

莫迪与此无关!

All this happened ONLY because of the inspiration the whole team received from Pappu. They started digging for potatoes and finally ended up with huge tunnels.

这一切能成功得益于整个团队从拉胡尔那里得到了灵感。他们开始挖土豆，最后挖出了一条大隧道。

what congress did since independence is to make people fight on basis of religion and caste: restricted technology and taking cuts from industrialist ; all this affected India progress ; what Modi has done since 2014 was not done in 70 years congress rule; not even a single bomb blast had occurred anywhere in India whereas during Congress rule we had so many; long live India n NM

自独立以来，国大党所做的就是利用宗教和种姓让人们内斗，限制技术的发展，剥削工业家，所有这些都影响了印度的进步。

莫迪自2014年以来取得的成就，是国大党统治70年里没有做到的，甚至没有发生过一起爆炸事件，而在国大党统治期间发生过很多次。新印度万岁，莫迪万岁！

Bharat is building better than ever. Congress in 75 years built less than Bhajup in one week. Congress and all family owned parties should be banned

印度建设得比以往任何时候都好。国大党在75年的时间里建的项目，比人民党在一周内建成的还少。国大党和所有家族政党都应该被取缔
