This bridge passing through the urban landscape of Vadodara acts as an important infrastructure component in Vadodara district. Vadodara is one of the busiest urban centers, and the construction of a bridge passing through the city required an extraordinary plan and coordination with Vadodara Municipal Corporation and other local authorities. The route of the bullet train crosses/rotates the Vishwamitri river at 9 different places in and around Vadodara. Apart from the main river bridge, three of the remaining eight crossings have already been completed, while construction work is going on at other crossings. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor has 25 river bridges, out of which 21 are in Gujarat and 4 in Maharashtra.
