Indrali Road Overbridge Across Mangalore-Mumbai Railway Line Likely to be Complete by March

Engineers from the National Highways Division of the State Public Works Department informed the Udupi district administration that the two-lane parallel road overbridge (RoB) across the Mangalore-Mumbai railway line at Indrali on National Highway 169 will be completed in about three months.

The bowstring bridge would be built using prefabricated galvanised steel, with the contractor already in the process of fabricating the structure in Hubballi. While abutment work and piles erection for the bridge on both the ends were already completed, the balance work that has remained was to bring the prefabricated structure to the site and position it at the site. It may take a month to pull the steel structure across the 54m train carriageway at a rate of 5m every day. Thereafter a concrete road would be built atop the steel base.
