The project forms part of the Sagarmala programme and aligns with the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan to enhance multi modal connectivity and logistics efficiency. The proposal was appraised by the Delegated Investment Board in a meeting chaired by the Secretary of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways and the revised cost was examined to ensure compliance with modern safety standards and technical specifications. The approval reflects continued prioritisation of port infrastructure strategically.

The proposed road over bridge is expected to remove critical bottlenecks by enabling seamless movement across the rail crossing and ensuring uninterrupted flow of port bound cargo.

The initiative is expected to enhance inter agency coordination and accelerate infrastructure delivery. The approval of the Deendayal Port road over bridge is a decisive step towards world class port infrastructure and reinforcing the country's role in global maritime trade and national resilience.
