Its kind of nostalgic for me, the new Netravathi Bridge started construction when I joined my BTech in Mangalore, and got commissioned the day I left back home from college after my final year (I travelled through the new bridge as per my wishes).
Well, my doubt is, why does trains still have to wait in the UP line for the DOWN train to clear? isnt the UP and DOWN bridges used separately? I remeber having the MAQ-NTVT B cabin getting connected to the new bridge.
