To address growing safety concerns—sparked by structural cracks and a partial collapse at the Vikramshila Setu in Bhagalpur—the Bihar Road Construction Department is conducting a feasibility study to deploy advanced Israeli satellite technology for bridge monitoring. By utilizing high-precision radar imaging, this system can detect microscopic, millimeter-level shifts and structural stress long before visible damage appears, shifting the state’s strategy from reactive repairs to proactive, preventive maintenance. This cutting-edge satellite surveillance will work alongside intensified manual oversight, complementing a massive state-wide audit that has already inspected over 4,000 bridges and mandated official safety checks twice a year. . . . . . #BridgeSafety #BiharInfrastructure #TechInGovernance
