26 Jun 2026 CW Team

Assam Minister Rameswar Teli inaugurated Duliajan's first Rail Over Bridge (ROB) at Madhabpur on Sunday, marking the opening of a long-awaited transport link in the district. The bridge provides a grade-separated crossing over rail lines in an area that frequently experienced congestion. The inauguration was attended by local officials and stakeholders. Local leaders described the structure as the town's first purpose-built crossing over the rail corridor.

The 830-metre ROB was constructed at a cost of Rs 720 mn and will serve the Madhabpur-Tipling Road, a route that often suffered delays due to rail movement. Authorities said the link is expected to improve traffic flow and reduce waiting times for motor vehicles. The project timeline reflected consultations with rail and civic agencies during planning and execution. The construction incorporated standard safety features and design elements to accommodate heavy vehicles.

The Assam government contributed Rs 470 mn towards the project while Indian Railways provided Rs 250 mn, according to officials. The minister described the bridge as a response to a long-standing demand from residents and said the scheme aimed to strengthen local connectivity. The infrastructure is intended to benefit daily commuters, goods carriers and emergency services. Coordination between state and rail authorities was cited as crucial to finalising the funding split.

The bridge is also expected to improve access for employees of Oil India Limited (OIL), whose field headquarters is based in Duliajan, facilitating movement to industrial and administrative sites. Officials added that removal of bottlenecks would aid logistics and could support faster response times for health and safety services. Further monitoring will determine the extent of operational improvements once traffic patterns stabilise. Maintenance responsibilities will be overseen by the relevant agencies to ensure durability and safe operations.
