A bridge is a structure designed to cross physical barriers such as a body of water, valley, or road without blocking the way beneath, in order to provide passage over the barrier. India is well known as the land of rivers, and in order to overcome the challenges posed by the rivers, several bridges have been built. Some are railways, others are rail-roads, and all are the work of Indian engineers. India has some of the country’s best above-water bridge structures, as well as a remarkable list of railway bridges. Bridges are seen as an essential component of a country’s infrastructure. When they join two positions that balance each other economically, it raises the cash flow.
