Long welded rails (LWR) have been used in metro rail systems to provide smoother, safer and less maintenance-requiring operations at high speeds. Due to the configuration of the interconnection of rail and deck systems, there is interaction in power transfer. Rail-structure interaction (RSI) analysis is a technique used to examine this effect in structures. The performance of the composite structure, rail stress and relative deformations were analyzed. Limits of overhead and the impact of RSI analysis are mentioned, according to the guidance of RDSO and UIC standards. The first floor of the viaduct construction, which is planned to be built on two floors, will carry the road load, and the second floor of the railway will carry the traffic. It is recommended to use four continuous decks on highway bridge decks to protect passengers from discomfort caused by continuous joints and to ensure a comfortable journey. This paper considers the above two-storey superstructure complex with different types of superstructure at the metro level due to the need for monitoring such as U-beam slab, I-beam slab for each road, and examines the impact of RSI on the road. The highway Level has a continuous slab and I used the beam slab as a slab for the two lanes of the transition/pocket. To examine the interaction between bilayer bridge structures, endpoint analysis was performed using the MIDAS CIVIL software analysis tool. The ballastless runway and bridge deck in this study were attached using multilinear elastic springs approved by UIC 774-3R, with additional limits per IRS and IRC regulations. This study examines the behavior of infrastructure as a result of temperature and live pressure and force loads at the metro system and highway level.
