NHSRCL begins drainage and lining works
The team isn't slowing down: after completing the tunnel, they're now working on drainage and concrete lining.
So far, they've built 343km of viaducts, 434km of piers, and 17 river bridges.
Breakthrough has been achieved for two mountain tunnels out of the seven, plus over half a million noise barriers have been set up to keep things quieter along the tracks.
