It include bridges which are 260 meters and 210 meters, respectively, an official statement said

The newly completed bridge near Vaghaldhara is situated between Vapi and Bilimora Bullet Train stations

Given that NH-48 is one of India’s busiest highways, construction was meticulously planned to ensure the safety of both vehicles and workers while maintaining uninterrupted traffic flow and minimising public inconvenience, the statement said

The additional lanes were built on both sides of the highway to avoid vehicles from passing beneath suspended loads or within the one-meter shadow margin during construction, the statement further said
