The Permission for laying overhead electrical line
shall be considered for approval/rejection based on
1.18 NA
the Ministry Circulars mentioned above.

a) Carrying of sewage/Gas pipelines on highway

bridges shall not be permitted as fumes/gases pipes
can accelerate the process of corrosion or may
cause expolsions thus being much more injurious NA
than leakage of water.

b) Carrying of water pipelines on bridges shall also

be discouraged. However, if the water supply
authorities seem to have no other viable alternative
and approach the highway authority well in time
before the design of the bridge is finalised, they may
be permitted to carry the pipeline on independant
superstructure, suported on extended portions of NA
piers and abutments in such a manner that in the
final arrangement enough free space around the
superstructure of the bridge remains available for
inspections and repairs.

c) Cost of required extension of the substructure as

well as that of the supporting superstructure shall be
NA
borne by the agency incharge of the utilities.

d) Services are not being allowed indiscriminately on

the parpet/ any part of the bridges. Safety of the
bridges has to be kept in view while permitting
various services along the bridge. Approvals are to NA
be accorded in this regard with the cncurrence of the
Ministry's project chief engineers only.

If yes it shall be either encased in pipes or through
