The tunnel is part of a line doubling project on Mangaluru Jn.-Panambur section
Southern Railway is confident of opening the second tunnel at Kulashekara on the Mangaluru-Panambur section of the Mumbai railway line by March. The commissioning of the second tunnel will also complete line doubling between Mangaluru Junction and Panambur stations.
The then Railway Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda had announced line doubling between Mangaluru Junction and Surathkal in the 2014 Railway Budget. The work was included in the line doubling project of Shoranur-Mangaluru-Panambur. However, work got substantially delayed due to various reasons, including difficult terrain, change of the contractor, and land slips.
