A 40-meter full-span box girder was launched over Indian Railways tracks between Niyol and Chalthan stations on the Udhna-Jalgaon section in Gujarat for fast-tracking the Bullet Train project. The girder was launched in record time which takes only two hours to complete. The girder is a pre-stressed concrete (PSC) box girder which is a type of bridge girder that is used in the construction of bridges.
The launch of the 40-meter full-span box girder is a significant milestone in the construction of the Bullet Train project. The project aims to connect Mumbai and Ahmedabad with a high-speed railway line by reducing travel time between the two cities from 7 hours to 2 hours.
The launch of the girder over the Indian Railways tracks is a tangible proof to the engineering powers of the Indian Railways. The Indian Railways has been instrumental in the development of the Bullet Train project which provides the necessary infrastructure for the project.
