Construction of a new rail bridge at Mokama, Bihar will disrupt 845 train services in September.
The Indian Railways has announced that a new rail bridge is being constructed at Mokama in Bihar, which will affect 845 train services scheduled for September. The bridge project is part of a broader effort to upgrade the Patna–Mokama line, improving connectivity and reducing travel times.
Railway officials have advised passengers to check revised schedules and consider alternate routes during the month of September. The construction is expected to be completed by the end of the year, after which normal operations will resume.
The impact on freight and passenger traffic is anticipated to be significant, as the Mokama–Patna corridor is a key artery for both local commuters and goods transport. Railway authorities are working to minimise delays by arranging additional trains and adjusting timings where possible.
