NHSRCL Advances Vadodara Viaduct and Affects Rail Traffic

03 Feb 2025 CW Team

The National High-Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL) has requested the suspension of rail traffic for three hours daily in Vadodara for 37 days to aid the construction of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor is being developed as part of the Rs 1.08 trillion project, with NHSRCL as the implementing agency.

The suspension is intended to facilitate the installation of a viaduct over the main passenger line, a crucial step in the project’s construction. Work for this segment of the project is scheduled to begin in March, with a completion deadline set for December of this year. The request for blocking the rail traffic has been met with in-principle agreement from Western Railways, allowing for daytime interruptions.

This section of the 508-km corridor, designed to link Mumbai and Ahmedabad, is the only part of the route that has been realigned to avoid the displacement of the bustling Kadak Bazaar. The revised plan also ensures that crane boom movements do not interfere with nearby flight paths, resulting in a Rs 20 billion savings in the overall project cost.

The focus for the current phase of the project is to complete civil work on the 352-km-long Gujarat section of the corridor, including an eight-km stretch through Vadodara, referred to as the “C5 package.” The elevated corridor will consist of 32 spans crossing over both the passenger and freight railway lines. The goal is to finish this portion of the work by the end of the year.
