The detailed Project Reports have already been received for 73 ROBs and of these 64 ROBs are expected to be sanctioned with an estimated cost of {{INR}}5600 crore. More than 1500 old and worn down bridges will also be improved by replacement/widening/strengthening in a phased manner at a cost of about {{INR}}30,000 crore.

The aim is to carry out conditions survey and inventorization of all bridges on National Highways in India by using Mobile Inspection Units. 11 consultancy firms have been appointed for this purpose. Inventorization of 50,000 bridges has been done. The first cycle of the survey is expected to be completed by June 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/pm-narendra-modi-launches-setu-bharatam-project-vows-to-improve-infrastructure/article8313468.ece|title=PM Narendra Modi launches ‘Setu Bharatam’ project, vows to improve infrastructure|author=National Bureau|work=The Hindu}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/setu-bharatam-project-pm-narendra-modi-india-poised-for-a-quantum-leap-in-infrastructure/|title=PM Modi launches Rs 50,800 cr Setu Bharatam project to ensure highways without railway crossings by 2019|date=4 March 2016|work=The Indian Express}}</ref>
