Siddhartha Highway’s Siddhababa Tunnel work moving at snail’s pace

A 1,126-metre long tunnel is under construction in the most perilous stretch of the road section. But work has almost stalled over the past two months.

Work on the Siddhababa Tunnel along the Siddhartha Highway is at a snail’s pace with only 1.69 percent progress recorded over the past two months. Project engineers and residents alike are concerned about the slow work progress.
