845 Trains Affected by New Mokama Rail Bridge Work
Indian Railways says that 845 trains will be changed in September because they are building a new bridge near Mokama in Bihar.
The new bridge will be next to the old Rajendra Bridge and will let trains run on two tracks.
Work will start on September 21 and finish on October 4, 2026.
During that time some trains will be cancelled, diverted, or only start or finish part of the way.
The East Central Railway’s public relations officer, Saraswati Chandra, gave the details and the dates.
Indian Railways will alter 845 train services in September due to new bridge construction near Mokama, Bihar.
Work involves Non‑Interlocking (NI) tasks to connect the new double‑line bridge to the existing network, scheduled 21 Sept‑4 Oct 2026.
The new bridge sits about 50 m from the existing Rajendra Bridge on the Patna side of the Ganga River.
Services will be cancelled, diverted, or partially terminated/started during the 15‑day period.
