The massive Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) is expected to arrive by September 24, with tunnelling operations scheduled to begin in January 2027, overcoming a significant foreign hurdle for the high-speed rail project. The TBM's shipment was previously held up following diplomatic discussions, and its arrival marks a major milestone for the ambitious project, which includes a 20.37-kilometer underground section.
