  "account": "Mumbai's ambitious Coastal Road extension project will soon be bolstered by two colossal tunnel boring machines (TBMs) set to excavate twin underground road tunnels between Kandivli and Malad. The TBMs, measuring 15.6 metres in diameter, are among the largest of their kind to be used for a road tunnel project in India. These mammoth machines are being prepared for their role in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) Versova-Dahisar Link Road (VDLR) project, also known as Coastal Road (North). Upon completion, the four-lane tunnels will provide motorists with a faster route through the city's western suburbs, alleviating congestion on the already busy Western Express Highway.",
