J Kumar Sets Up 2nd Launching Gantry for Ahmedabad’s Metro
Hat tip to Bhavin for the images!
After J Kumar Infraprojects commissioned their first Launching Gantry (LG) on the night of February 19, they’ve now set up a second one just 50 meters away in the Nirant Cross Roads area! This LG will build the viaduct in the opposite (westward) direction for the 6 km Vastral Gam to Apparel Park section of the metro’s 20.536 km east-west line.
