NHSRCL Reports Progress on 480‑Metre Sabarmati River Bridge for Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train

Balanced cantilever construction limits in‑river work to protect Sabarmati water flow.

Overview

  • NHSRCL says all foundation and substructure work on the river crossing is complete.
  • Three of the five 76‑metre spans are finished, with pier head work and segment casting in progress.
  • All eight circular piers are in place, with four in the riverbed, two on the banks, and two outside the banks.
  • Crews use the balanced cantilever method, which builds each span from 23 cast‑in‑place segments without scaffolding under the deck.
  • Temporary culverts in an embankment and a kept discharge channel maintain continuous water flow during construction.
