The 100-metre-long metal construction, which is 14.3 metres broad and weighs 1,432 metric tonnes, was fabricated at a workshop in Bhuj and transported to the location by street for set up.
Leveraging Japanese experience, India is more and more utilising its personal technical and materials sources to construct infrastructure underneath the “Make in India” initiative and the metal bridges for the bullet prepare challenge are a serious instance of this effort, it stated.
