In  the  inspection  pattern,  Railways  follow  a  Numerical  Rating System  for  assessment  of  physical  condition  of  the  Bridge.  Every Bridge is assigned an Overall Rating Number (ORN). Based on ORN of a bridge, the priority of Repair/Strengthening/Rehabilitation/Rebuilding of bridge is decided.

Various modern technologies like Drone Survey, 3D Scanning of River  Beds and Water Level Monitoring have been adopted and have been introduced for the regular inspection & monitoring of the Bridges.

Total number of Railway bridges in Bihar is 5182 and the number of Railway bridges constructed on rivers is 859.

Repair/Strengthening/Rehabilitation/Rebuilding of bridges is a continuous process and is undertaken whenever so warranted by their physical condition as ascertained during these inspections. Repair/Strengthening/Rehabilitation/Rebuilding  of  Railway  bridges  is prioritized and carried out based on the safety consideration.
