A 14‑day block on the Rajendra rail bridge over the Ganga will start on Sept 21, cancelling 47 services and diverting hundreds of others as pre‑NI and NI work proceeds at Mokama.
Indian Railways announced a mega block of 14 days on the newly constructed Rajendra rail bridge that spans the Ganga. The block, scheduled from 21 September to 4 October, will see 47 scheduled trains cancelled and hundreds of other services rerouted to accommodate pre‑NI (pre‑Network Integration) and NI (Network Integration) work at Mokama in Bihar.
The pre‑NI and NI activities are aimed at linking the bridge with the main railway network, a critical step for enhancing connectivity across the region. Officials said the work is essential to ensure safe and seamless operations once the bridge is fully integrated.
Travelers have been advised to check the Indian Railways portal or contact enquiry counters for updated train schedules and alternative routes. The railway authority is coordinating with local stations to minimize inconvenience for commuters during the block period.
The mega block reflects the railways' broader push to modernise infrastructure and improve freight and passenger movement across northern India, especially in Bihar where the Ganga corridor is a vital economic artery.
