The Chennai Metro project celebrates a major feat! On December 30, 2023 the TBM Kaveri successfully entered the Adyar River, marking the first-ever metro tunnel beneath its waters. This breakthrough paves the way for connecting the Greenways Road and Adyar Junction stations, enhancing city connectivity. 

Kaveri started its journey in February 2023 at Greenways Road Station in Corridor 3 contract TU02 between Kellys and Taramani of Phase II Chennai Metro Rail Project. Its partner, TBM Adyar follows closely at 250 m and will join within 20 days. Both machines will tunnel under the DB Road and the iconic Thiru.Vi.Ka. Bridge, reaching Adyar Junction Station.
