51 Bihar-bound trains cancelled, 47 diverted due to new rail bridge work at Mokama on September 26; Check details

Indian Railways has cancelled 51 Bihar-bound trains and diverted 47 others due to non-interlocking works at Rajendra Pul, which is being carried out for the commissioning of a new rail bridge parallel to the existing Rajendra Bridge over the Ganga River near Mokama in Bihar. The new bridge, which will connect various railway junctions, has been built alongside the existing 1.9-km rail-cum-road bridge that has been in service since 1959.

The existing bridge carries only a single railway line, making it impossible to double it due to technical limitations.
