Good idea. With the design and construction technology available in India we can do it. But wha.t is needed to analyse is the benefits. Cost, required land, road safety, speed etc

Rail cum Road bridges can be taken up if all other things are favourable. One Rail cum Road brige  on on Chennai - Kolkata trunk road near Rajahmundry across River Godavari,said to be Asia's longest Rail cum Road bridge,  serves huge rail and road traffic. (Photo source: Wikipedia). Another Rail cum Road brige is located near Guwahati across river Brahmaputra.
