NHSRCL: Thane Ulhas River bridge intact, temporary materials access damaged

India Jul 16, 2026

Good news for anyone following the bullet train project: NHSRCL has cleared up rumors about a bridge collapse after last week's heavy rains.

The main bridge over the Ulhas River in Thane is totally fine; what actually got damaged was just a temporary access used to move materials, not the real bridge itself.

Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train moves forward

Despite wild weather and flooding, work on the 508-kilometer Mumbai-Ahmedabad corridor isn't slowing down.

The ₹1.08 lakh crore project has solid funding from both central and state governments, plus a low-interest Japanese loan.

So, even with nature throwing curveballs, the country's first bullet train is still moving forward as planned.
