A 100-meter-long steel bridge has been launched in Silvassa, Dadra, and Nagar Haveli, as part of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project. The bridge, launched on August 25, 2024, marks a significant milestone in India’s ambitious high-speed rail initiative.

Statement Of An Official Of The National High-Speed Rail Corporation

“The bridge, which weighs 1,464 metric tonnes, stands 14.6 meters tall and 14.3 meters wide. It was fabricated at a workshop in Trichy, Tamil Nadu, and transported to Silvassa using trailers for final assembly and installation” said an official of the National High Speed Rail Corporation.
