Many a times, it is noticed that the existing bridge is also very old and
due
for replacement in near future. In such case-s, the railway should provide
temporary diversion (frt for 75 Kmph) for the existing bridge. Tirereafter,a
existing single line bridge should be dismantled and nJ* aor-Ule line
bridge
should be constructed on existing alignment for latest loading standard. It
give the
will
following benefits:
i' Cost of new double line bridge is lesq than two single line bridges, thus
there will be substantial cost saving, in cases where existing Uiiage is
old
and require maj or rehabilitation/ rebuilding.
ii' Reverse curye on the approach of bridge *IU b" completely avoided,
thus
increasing the speed potential of line.
iii. Existing single line will also be re-constructed for 25 ton axle load.
The matter has been considered and it has been decided that wherever
doubling is planned, railway shall consider the condition of existing single
line
bridge also for replacement in the near future. It has also been decided
existing major (not important) bridges which have outlived their life
that few
may
selected for re-construction with doubling projects to implement be
methodologr under advice to Board. this

Vide above reference, instructions were issued for construction of RCC boxes
for railway bridges on the zonal railways. Recently, some issues have been raised by
the project executing agencies in this regard. Accordingly, in supersession of existing
instructions, following has been decided:
(i) RCC boxes shall not be constructed for major bridges on new lines/gauge
conversion/ doubling works. In exceptional cases on feasibility
consideration (like insufficient vertical clearance, restricted land
availability, to avoid damage to existing wing wall etc), RCC box may be
constructed for major bridges with adequate cushion (on replaceability
consideration to accommodate suitable temporary girder) duly considering
the strata underneath the bridge with approval of CAO(C)/CBE on case to
case basis.
(ii) RCC boxes may be constructed for minor bridges on new lines/ gauge
conversion/ doubling works up to a span of 3 m with provision of adequate
cushion (on replaceability consideration to accommodate suitable
temporary girder) duly considering the strata underneath the bridge with
approval of CE(C). In case it is not found feasible to provide desired cushion
and/ or RCC box of span more than 3 m is to be provided, approval of
CAO(C)/CBE shall be taken.
(iii) Use of multiple RCC boxes shall not be permitted. However, standard
RDSO design/ specially designed multi-cell RCC boxes may be permitted
on feasibility consideration with approval of CAO(C) / CBE.
(vi) For building/ rebuilding of bridges on existing lines, efforts should be made
to provide girder/ slab bridges as far as possible and RCC boxes shall be
provided only as last resort with approval of CBE.
(vii) In all cases where RCC boxes have been constructed or planned to be
constructed, properly designed protection works such as drop wall, curtain
wall, flooring etc duly considering the scour criteria and approved by CBE
or CE/ C shall be provided. The provisions shall also be incorporated in the
GAD and approved by competent authority.
(viii) Only standard ROSO design RCC boxes shall be constructed at all
locations. In exceptional cases where it is not feasible to adopt ROSO
designs, specially designed RCC boxes may be constructed with the
approval of PCE or CAO/ C. It shall be ensured that provisions of para
13.4.1 of "Concrete Bridge Code - Reprint 2014" are duly complied while
designing the non-ROSO standards RCC boxes.
