11th Steel Bridge Launched for Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project

The 11th steel bridge for the Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train project has been successfully launched over the Cadilla flyover in Ahmedabad district, Gujarat. The 70-metre-long, 670-metric-ton bridge stands parallel to the existing Ahmedabad–Mumbai railway tracks and marks another significant milestone in the high-speed rail corridor’s progress.

Measuring 13 metres in height and 14.1 metres in width, the bridge was fabricated at a workshop in Navsari, Gujarat, and transported to the site using heavy-duty trailers. The assembly was carried out next to the Cadilla flyover and Indian Railways tracks on specially designed steel staging installed 16.5 metres above ground level. Built with around 29,300 Tor-Shear Type High Strength (TTHS) bolts and coated with a C5 system painting, the structure offers enhanced durability and long-term protection.

A total of 28 steel bridges are planned for the Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train corridor, including 17 in Gujarat and 11 in Maharashtra, reflecting the scale and complexity of India’s first high-speed rail network.
