Construction Updates
Station Work: Foundation work is in progress at all three stations, with Boisar leading in foundation casting.
Pier Work: Ongoing at multiple locations along the corridor.
Casting Yards: Three facilities set up for segmental and full-span box girder production.
First Full-Span Box Girder: Successfully cast near Dahanu, measuring 40 meters and weighing 970 metric tons.
