According to reports, this 260-metre long bridge is the first PSC Balanced Cantilever Bridge completed on a highway by SBS (Span by Span) method.

Work on the bullet train project is progressing rapidly
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav had said recently that work on the bullet train project is going on at a fast pace. He told that there will be 2 categories in the bullet train, the first general and the second special category. He said that the work of making 320 fillers has been completed. The work of making a tunnel about 50 meters deep under the sea and building stations is also going on at a fast pace. He told that E Sreedharan, who was the director of Delhi Metro from 1995 to 2012, made a very good arrangement in the metro that there should be no classification of category. At that time I used to work in the office of the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Keeping in mind the words of Sreedharan, there will be 2 classes in the bullet train.
