After facing a delay of nearly five years, the work on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor is speeding up, with the completion of the construction of 50 kilometres of viaduct and 180 kilometres of pier works, said Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw.
The viaduct is a specific type of bridge that consists of a series of arches, piers and columns that support a long elevated railway line.
Building the rail corridor involves work along an alignment of 352 km passing through eight districts of Gujarat and Dadra Nagar Haveli, and contracts for building bridges, stations and tracks have been awarded over the period of two years beginning October 28, 2020.
