Construction Updates

Station Work: Foundation work is in progress at all three stations, with Boisar leading in foundation casting.

Pier Work: Ongoing at multiple locations along the corridor.

Casting Yards: Three facilities set up for segmental and full-span box girder production.

First Full-Span Box Girder: Successfully cast near Dahanu, measuring 40 meters and weighing 970 metric tons.

Temporary Bridges: Underway across Vaitarna, Ulhas, and Desai Khadi to support river bridge construction.

Economic & Technological Impact

The Rs 1.08 trillion project, featuring advanced Japanese railway technology, is poised to revolutionize intercity travel.
