The 1.2 km long Narmada River bridge now under construction in Bharuch will be the longest bridge on the 508 km long Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor.

As part of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail project, 20 bridges will be built across several rivers in Gujarat, including the Narmada, Daroatha, Mahi, Par, Kaveri, Sabarmati, Purna Ambika, Kolak, Daman Ganga, Kharera, Dhadhar, Anuraga, Mindhola, Vishwamitri, Tapi, Meshwa, Kim, Vatrak, and Mohar.

The Full Span Precast Box Girders are handled by a straddle carrier, according to NHSRCL. Straddle Carrier raises the girder of the casting bed and carries it to the next location after the casting.
