National High-Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL) has successfully completed the launching of a 130 mtrs. span of a steel bridge for the Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train project.

The bridge, located near Kanthariya village in Bharuch district, spans National Highway-64 and the Bharuch–Dahej freight line of Indian Railways. This continuous steel bridge consists of two spans: 130 mtrs. and 100 mtrs. The 130 mtrs. span was launched on 09 December, 2025. The bridge measures 18 m in height and 14.9 m in width, weighing about 2,780 tonne. Fabricated in Bhuj, Gujarat, it is designed for a 100-year lifespan. Constructed using high-strength Tor-Shear Type bolts and a C5 system painting, the bridge was assembled on temporary trestles 14 mtrs. above the ground. The launch was carried out with two semi-automatic jacks and Mac-Alloy bars.

"The successful completion of the bridge launch demonstrates our commitment to ensuring smooth execution while minimizing disruptions," said an NHSRCL official.
