Rajendra Setu (Hindi: राजेन्द्र सेतु) (also known as Rajendra Pul and Mokama Bridge) across the Ganges was the first bridge to link North Bihar and South Bihar.[1][2]
The road-cum-rail bridge near Maranchi in Patna district was inaugurated by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, President of India. Construction of the bridge executed by The Braithwaite Burn & Jessop Construction Company Limited. It is about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) long and carries a two lane road and a single line railway track.[3] It was opened in 1959.[4][5] A double track railway bridge 25 meter upstream the present Rajendra Setu, is now under costruction.[6][7]
A four-lane road bridge, carrying NH 31, parallel to the existing rail and road bridge, has been planned.[8]
