The much-anticipated bullet train project linking Mumbai to Ahmedabad has reached a significant milestone with the completion of land acquisition. This crucial step sets the stage for the commencement of physical construction activities along the corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Physical construction activity has commenced in the elevated portion of the bullet train corridor in Maharashtra, covering a stretch of 135 km from Shilphata near Mumbai to Zaroli village on the Maharashtra-Gujarat border. This segment presents engineering challenges, including the construction of mountain tunnels, steel bridges, and river crossings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Maharashtra section of the project boasts intricate engineering feats, including six mountain tunnels, 36 crossings comprising steel bridges and river bridges over the Ulhas, Vaitarna, and Jagani rivers. Notably, the Vaitarna river hosts the longest river bridge spanning 2.32 km, showcasing the project’s scale and complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Integral to the project’s success are the three bullet train stations strategically located in Thane, Virar, and Boisar. These stations, situated within the Mumbai metropolitan region, serve as vital transportation hubs, catering to the commuting needs of thousands of individuals daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As construction gains momentum, cleaning and grubbing operations are underway for 78 km, while geotechnical investigations are progressing steadily, reaching the halfway mark. Notably, open foundation construction is underway at multiple locations, demonstrating steady progress across the corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
