The construction involved phased execution and alternative support systems due to space constraints, it stated.
A second-highest elevated section, a 52.288-metre steel span at 27.61 metres, was also completed, it read.
To avoid disruptions, construction was planned during non-operational hours at night.
"This ensured that regular passenger services remained unaffected," said DMRC's Principal Executive Director Anuj Dayal.
