9,784 Railway Bridges Sanctioned for Repairs

As of April 1, the Indian government has sanctioned repairs and rebuilding for a total of 9,784 railway bridges, according to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. This extensive initiative aims to address aging infrastructure and enhance the safety and efficiency of the rail network.

The sanctioned projects include both major and minor repairs, as well as complete reconstructions where necessary. The focus is on ensuring that these critical components of the railway infrastructure meet modern safety standards and can handle increasing traffic loads.

This substantial investment is part of a broader strategy to upgrade India's railway system, which has been facing challenges related to outdated infrastructure and rising passenger and freight demands. The repairs and rebuilds are expected to improve operational reliability and reduce the risk of accidents.

The effort to refurbish these bridges reflects the government's commitment to strengthening the railway network, which is essential for economic development, connectivity, and public safety. Enhanced bridge infrastructure will also support the smooth operation of new rail projects and services, contributing to overall improvements in the rail system
