Historical and architectural interest bridges

Major road and railway bridges

The largest of all indian's railway bridges is the Chenab Bridge, located on the Jammu–Baramulla line that connects the Jammu region and the Kashmir Valley, which turned out to be the most expensive line of Indian's railway network. The Chenab Bridge was the highest arch bridge in the world when opening in 2022 with a deck above the Chenab River, it's still the highest railway bridge on earth nowadays.

Extradosed bridges have experienced remarkable growth in India since the 2010s with a large number of multi-span bridges built on rivers such as the Ganges, which has significant widths in certain places. Their advantages are as follows:

They allow longer spans than conventional beam bridges and therefore a reduced number of foundations. The thickness of the deck is considerably reduced (the Arrah–Chhapra bridge deck is thick), thereby minimizing the amount of concrete. They can be made up of precast segments even for medium spans and then be erected much more quickly and easily than the typical in-situ concrete construction. A more elegant aesthetic appearance than conventional beam bridges.

The first major extradosed bridge built in India is the Second Vivekananda Bridge between Howrah and Kolkata. It has 8 pylons and a suspended length of , which was among the longest in its category at the time. Additionally it had one of the largest numbers of spans at the time. Another main feature of the bridge is its width with 6 road lanes for a single plane axial suspension.

The Arrah–Chhapra Bridge held the record for the longest total extradosed span length in the world when it was inaugurated in 2017, with 16 pylons and , surpassing the well-known in Japan. This record will be largely beaten by the new Kacchi Dargah–Bidupur Bridge under construction with 66 pylons and an extradose length of .

The Rajendra Setu was the first rail-cum-road bridge in independent India on the river Ganga, one of the major rivers in the country.

This table presents the structures with spans greater than (non-exhaustive list).
