New Double-Line Rail Bridge at Mokama Commissioned to Boost Bihar Connectivity
Indian Railways has commissioned a new double-line rail bridge over the Ganga at Mokama, Bihar, costing around Rs 2,400 crore. The bridge, built parallel to the existing Rajendra Setu, enhances north-south Bihar connectivity by increasing rail capacity and allowing higher train speeds up to 140 kmph. Safety clearance was granted after inspections by the Commissioner of Railway Safety. The project includes additional infrastructure such as viaducts, minor bridges, and signalling systems, with train operations commencing recently.
