Ninth Steel Bridge Completed for Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train
Imagine a super-fast train track being built!
This news is about a special bridge being built for that train.
It's made of steel and is super strong, like a giant metal toy.
This bridge is in Gujarat, India, and it goes over a busy highway.
The people building it made sure to not block the cars while putting it up.
It took two parts to build the bridge, and each part is as long as a football field.
This is the ninth bridge they've built so far, as part of a plan for many more!
It is designed to last a very long time, and helps bring the bullet train project closer to being finished.
NHSRCL completed the ninth steel bridge in Gujarat for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train.
The bridge spans 200 meters over National Highway 48 near Nadiad.
The steel bridge comprises two 100-meter spans and weighs about 2,884 metric tons.
The bridge is designed for a 100-year lifespan.
The construction aimed to minimize traffic disruption on the highway.
