Rajendra Setu (also known as Rajendra Pul and Mokama Bridge) is a bridge across the River Ganges that was the first bridge to link the northern and southern portions of the state of Bihar. The location of the bridge was based on the work of M. Visvesvaraya, who was more than 90 years old at the time. The road-cum-rail bridge near Hathidah in Patna district was inaugurated in 1959 by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, President of India. Construction of the bridge was by Braithwaite, Burn & Jessop Construction Company. It is about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) long and carries a two lane road and a single line railway track. A double-track railway bridge 25 metres upstream from the bridge is under construction.
