SETU BHARATAM

In India, we have Asia's largest railway line and the world's 2nd largest rail system handled by a single entity. The overall line length is 115000 km and the operating line is over 65000 km. 

Thus we can see many crossing and over the bridge which makes it easy for road transport. But with this large system, we have many level crossing and we see many accidents happening when some people try to Crossrail. 

Rail Over Bridge

Thus to tackle this problem the Central Government came up with this project "SETU BHARATAM". This project will benefit and help in seamless travel on National Highway and satisfy the comprehensive and integrated infrastructure in the country.
