The structural concept is developed from the existing bascule bridges. The bridge we are going to design is not been used before, it is not very different than existing bridges. It’s kind of similar to the rotational bridges but they are suspended on pier at the centre which is constructed on the river, lake, etc. and it is also very difficult to construct such a piers for long span bridges, hence the “SAM PRONATION BRIDGE” is a solution for this. The mechanism that we are providing for rotation, need some power for making movement of bridge, so the connections of controls are from bank of river or lake, hence reduces the chances of failure. In this project we have consider all the cons of existing bridges and trying to make some improvement in them.

Achieving this mile- stone has required a Herculean effort by many states, agencies, companies and individuals. Indeed, between 1992 and 1999, the railroad between New Haven and Boston was transformed from a sleepy, 1940s era line to the INTRODUCTION premier rail line in North America, capable of train speeds up to 150 mph. This has required some $1.7 billion in new rails and ties, signal system upgrades, In the year 2000, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, Amtrak, ushered bridge replacements, capacity and station improvements, curve realignments, in a new era of railroading in America with the initiation of Acela high-speed and at-grade crossing upgrades.
