The Mumbai- Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Project progressed as National High Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL) has successfully completed the launching of 130 m span of a 230 m (130 +100) long steel bridge over National Highway-64 and Bharuch Dahej freight line of Indian Railway tracks near Kanthariya village, Bharuch district, Gujarat.
This continuous steel bridge features two spans of 130 m and 100 m. On 9 December 2025, the 130 m span was launched. This span measures 18 m in height and 14.9 m in width, with a weight of approximately 2,780 metric tonnes. Fabricated at a workshop in Bhuj, Gujarat, the bridge is designed for a 100-year lifespan.
The bridge launching was completed in just 12 hours using intermittent blocks on freight tracks and road diversions on NH-64. These measures ensured safety and precise execution during the phased process. All activities were carefully planned to minimize disruptions for road users and ongoing freight operations.
