Bullet Train: Narmada Bridge Not Too Far, 4 Foundations To Surpass Height Of Qutub Minar, Says NHRSCL

News 18  

The construction of the Narmada River bridge in Gujarat is rapidly advancing as part of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train corridor, with 19 of the 25 well foundations ready and the beginning of the erection of the superstructure. The bridge’s design, featuring 24 spans and circular piers up to 18 meters high, is set to be a significant milestone in the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project. Despite these hurdles, the team led by the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited worked around the clock and the site engineers managed to restore operations and address critical issues such as the ‘tilt’ and ‘shift’ of the wells, challenges due to natural forces such as tidal waves and high river flow. As the project progresses, the Narmada River bridge stands as a symbol of India’s leap into the future of transportation, connecting two major cities with a state-of-the-art bullet train system.
