Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project Update: Commuters in Ahmedabad should brace for significant traffic diversions as the City Traffic Police has announced the closure of the Shahibaug three-way underpass for five days, from 8 PM on January 23 through January 28, 2026.

The closure is essential to facilitate critical Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train construction, including the installation of horizontal segments on high-speed rail pillars and piloting work along the Sabarmati-Vatva corridor, The Indian Express reported.
