01 Jun 2025 Editorial Team
India's first bullet train project, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor, has achieved a significant milestone with the completion of 300 km of viaducts out of the total 508 km route. The National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) reported that 257.4 km were constructed using the Full Span Launching Method (FSLM), which accelerates construction by enabling the erection of full-span girders up to 10 times faster than traditional methods. Additionally, 37.8 km were built using the Span-by-Span (SBS) method. The project also includes the construction of 14 river bridges, steel and prestressed concrete bridges, and station structures. With substantial progress in pier construction, foundations, and girder casting, the project is on track for partial operations in Gujarat by 2028, aiming to reduce travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad to under three hours.
