The Railway Board has ordered a review of all rail bridges in the country that need repair after it was found that out of the 275 such bridges only 23 had speed restrictions on them.<br/><br/>The board had earlier sought details of the condition of bridges and found that the trains would pass on the 252 dilapidated bridges at its usual speed posing a safety hazard.<br/><br/>The Board also observed that in most cases, no speed restriction has been imposed and special inspection schedule has also not been prescribed by the Chief Bridge Engineers.<br/><br/>A 2015 CAG report had found that delays in sanctioning of bridgeworks and completion of sanctioned bridgeworks resulted in operation of train services with speed restriction resulting in extra operational costs.
