All civil contracts of the Gujarat portion of India’s bullet train project are awarded, even as the marquee project picks up speed to achieve its various construction milestones.
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project has completed the construction of over 25 km of the viaduct in Gujarat, including 5.7 km of the continuous viaduct near Vadodara and 19.58 km at various other locations. The viaduct is the elevated, concrete, bridge-like structure that carries the actual track and systems.
This week, top officials of the governments of Japan and India will hold a periodic stock-taking meeting to discuss various aspects of the ongoing project.
