Mahanadi bridge is one of the longest river road bridge of India build across the great River Mahanadi in Orissa state. The Mahanadi is a major river in East Central India. It drains an area of around 141,600 square kilometres (54,700 sq mi) and has a total course of 858 kilometres (533 mi). The river flows through the states of Chhattisgarh and Odisha.
