Sabarmati Bullet Train Bridge Completed Over River

A new bridge for India's Mumbai–Ahmedabad bullet train project has been completed over the Sabarmati River.

It is 480 metres long and 36 metres high.

That is about as tall as a 12-storey building.

The bridge has seven long sections called spans.

Eight large piers hold it up, with some placed in the river and others on or beyond the banks.

Builders used a method that let them extend the bridge out from the piers without ordinary scaffolding underneath.

Each span was made from 23 concrete pieces cast at the construction site.

The bridge is between the Sabarmati and Ahmedabad bullet train stations.
