Gandhinagar metro's Narmada main canal cable bridge nearing completion

The Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) has announced that the extra-dosed cable-stayed bridge across the Narmada Main Canal of the Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project Phase-II is nearing completion, according to a press release from the GMRC.

In the statement, it was mentioned that the cable bridge, which spans across the Narmada Main Canal from the Narendra Modi Stadium to the Gandhinagar section of the Ahmedabad Metro project, consists of a central span of 145 meters, end spans of 79 meters, and two pylons with a height of 28.1 meters each.

The release conveyed that the pylons and 100 out of the total 105 segments have been completed in record time. It further mentioned that the bridge work is expected to be finished shortly, after which the laying of tracks and the installation of the third rail will be undertaken.

According to the statement, Train Trials are anticipated to commence in March or April.

The Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project Phase-II comprises two corridors with a total length of 28.25 km. Corridor-1, stretching 22.8 km from Motera Stadium to Mahatma Mandir, and Corridor-2, spanning 5.4 km from the Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) to GIFT City. The overall completion cost of Phase-II is estimated to be Rs 53.84 billion.

The project is aimed at enhancing the existing public transport infrastructure in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. It aims to address the challenges faced by the urban transportation system in these cities, such as the strain caused by extensive developments, the rise in private vehicle numbers, and significant construction activities. The project intends to offer the residents a secure, reliable, and comfortable public transport system.

Highlighting the innovative nature of the Metro Rail project, the statement emphasized its departure from conventional urban transport systems. It stressed the importance of integration with other urban transport systems efficiently and effectively, achievable only through innovative methods of designing, technology, and institutional management.
