Barauni - Mokama Six Lane Cable Bridge, Railway and road bridge in Bihar, India
The Rajendra Setu spans two kilometers across the Ganges River, connecting the northern and southern regions of Bihar with double-lane roads and railway tracks.
In 1959, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Bihar Chief Minister Dr. Sri Krishna Singh inaugurated this infrastructure project constructed by Braithwaite, Burn and Jessop Company.
The bridge bears the name of Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India, reflecting the regional commitment to infrastructure development and transportation.
The structure accommodates both vehicular traffic and trains, serving as a primary crossing point for thousands of daily commuters between different parts of Bihar.
The parallel railway bridge, initiated in 2016 by Indian Railway Construction Company Limited, extends the transportation capacity of this crossing point.
