With passenger train services regulated during the extended lockdown, the South Central Railway (SCR) completed comprehensive track maintenance work on the iconic second rail-cum-road bridge across the Godavari River near Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh. Track maintenance work on the 3-km bridge was undertaken for the first time in 43 years after it was commissioned in 1977. The work was executed in a mega block of 36 hours. The work had been pending for want of such a long block to train services given that the bridge is critical to the South-East Rail link of India, bridging the two sides of the Godavari on the Vijayawada-Visakhapatnam Railway Section of the Zone. Contact: Gajanan Mallya, General Manager, South Central Railway.Address: 3rd Floor, Railnilayam, Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh-500 071.Tel: 040-2782 2874. E-mail: gm@scr.railnet.gov.inWebsite: www.scr.indianrailways.gov.in
