View of Mahanadi Rail Bridge as seen from Mahanadi Road Bridge, Odisha. Vehicles like Tata trucks, Tata school bus, motor bike, crane and cars, etc. passing though the Mahanadi Road Bridge, Odisha.
Mahanadi road bridge is connecting the city of Cuttack and Jagatpur. It is one of the longest bridge of India. One can see the moving traffic of the bridge and the rail bridge. This bridge is built over Mahanadi river.
The Mahanadi is a major river in East Central India. It drains an area of around 141,600 square kilometres (54,700 sq mi) and has a total course of 858 kilometres (533 mi). The river flows through the states of Chhattisgarh and Odisha.
The first Mahanadi Rail Bridge was opened on 1 January 1899. It had 64 spans of 100 feet each, on wells 19 ft 6 in. in diameter sunk to 60 ft below low water level. The Engineer in Charge of construction of the first Mahanadi Rail Bridge was William Beckett, who won a gold medal from the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1901, for a paper he presented on the bridge construction.
The 2.1 km long Second Mahanadi Rail Bridge built at a cost of Rs. 120 crore was commissioned in 2008. The bridge has been designed for a train speed of 160 km per hour. Adequate steps have been taken to withstand quake.
