The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project has achieved a milestone with the completion of a 210-meter-long pre-stressed concrete (PSC) bridge spanning National Highway-48 in Gujarat.
The National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), which is the implementing agency for the bullet train project, stated that the 210-meter-long PSC bridge, located at Dabhan village in Gujarat, consists of 72 precast segments and features four spans configured as 40m + 65m + 65m + 40m.
The bridge was constructed using the Balanced Cantilever Method, a technique well-suited for larger spans.
The bridge is located between the Anand and Ahmedabad Bullet Train stations.
NHSRCL said that the bullet train project has seen significant progress, with approximately 253 km of the viaduct completed, 290 km of girders cast, and 358 km of pier work finished.
Additionally, track construction work has commenced at multiple locations in Gujarat.
"The work on a 21 km tunnel in Maharashtra is under construction and seven mountain tunnels are under construction in Palghar district, Maharashtra through NATM. One mountain tunnel in Valsad district, Gujarat is already completed," NHSRCL said.
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail corridor is India’s first bullet train project, stretching 508 km to provide rapid connectivity between Maharashtra and Gujarat.
