India Building 5-Mile Tunnel Through Mountains

India is digging a huge tunnel to bypass a treacherous Himalayan mountain pass known locally as “Pile of Corpses.” The $320 million project is expected to take 5 years to complete and will create a five-mile tunnel buried a mile deep beneath the mountain range’s snow-covered rocks. “Once this tunnel is complete, it will be an engineering marvel for the whole nation,” said P.K. Mahajan, the project’s chief engineer.
