Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train: Darotha River Bridge In Gujarat Completed; Major Construction Progress At Vapi And Boisar Stations

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project has achieved another milestone, with the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) announcing the completion of the river bridge over the Darotha River in Gujarat's Valsad district.

NHSRCL is the implementing agency for the 508 km high speed rail corridor between Mumbai and Ahemdabad.

Spanning 80 meters, the bridge features two 40-meter steel SBS girders supported by a single circular pier with a diameter of 5 meters. The pier rises 18 meters above ground level.

This structure is located between the upcoming Boisar and Vapi Bullet Train stations.

According to the NHSRCL, major structural works for the upcoming bullet train station are already complete at Vapi.

Slab casting at both rail and platform levels, along with structural steel erection, has been finished.

Roof sheeting and electrical installations are currently underway.

The station, designed to reflect speed, will feature modern amenities including a business lounge, nursery, lifts, and escalators.

Strategically located, it connects well with Vapi city’s junction, bus stop, and industrial belt.

Meanwhile, the Boisar Bullet Train station in Maharashtra has marked a significant step with the casting of its first base slab for track laying — measuring 40 meters wide and 37 meters long, using 1070 cubic meters of concrete.

A total of nine such slabs will be laid.

The 425-meter-long station will feature two levels, with the façade drawing inspiration from local Konkani fishing nets.

Once operational, it will enhance access to the Vadhvan port, Tarapur industrial belt, and nearby tourist destinations.
