Not so, but they certainly look like an alluvial fan of dis-tributaries emanating from the sands of the Mahanadi and entering the main river's flow. The Mahanadi itself seems to have algal blooms in the water, indicating a slow flow and problems in the aquatic health of the river. A large part of the river's flow has been impeded by the aggregation of sands and sand banks.

The first Mahanadi Rail Bridge was opened on 1 January 1899. It had 64 spans of 100 feet (30 meters) each, on wells 19 ft 6 in (5.94 meters) in diameter sunk to 60 ft (18 meters) below low water level. The Engineer in Charge of construction of the first Mahanadi Rail Bridge was William Beckett, who won a gold medal from the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1901 for a paper he presented on the bridge construction.

The 2.1 km (1.3 mi) long Second Mahanadi Rail Bridge built at a cost of ₹120 crore (US$15 million) was commissioned in 2008. The bridge has been designed for a train speed of 160 km per hour (99.41 miles per hour). Adequate steps have been taken to withstand quake.[
