RVNL starts Bailey Bridge construction

21 Aug 2023 CW Team

Prior to transferring the site's possession to RVNL, Kolkata Police's traffic department is conducting trials to assess vehicular movement on EM Bypass, specifically around the 40mx16m barricaded area. The impending trials are pivotal in determining the viability of the location. RVNL, overseeing the 32km New Garia-Airport Metro project, has pursued this site for the past six years. The agency anticipates a three-month timeline for constructing piers 286 and 287, concurrently working on the Bailey bridge over Moila Khal.

The traffic department has stipulated that RVNL can take charge of the Metropolitan crossing site only after erecting a 2-metre-wide bridge over the canal. The bridge's construction, lasting three months, will not exacerbate road congestion during Metro construction. In pursuit of the December deadline for the Metropolitan extension of the New Garia-Airport corridor, RVNL has acceded to the bridge's construction, initially requested for vehicular movement.

Earlier, RVNL had been poised to construct the final two piers when the traffic department highlighted the need for more road space for Garia-bound vehicles. RVNL had initially declined the proposal for a canal-spanning bridge further south of the Metropolitan crossing, adjacent to the upcoming station of the New Garia-Airport corridor. RVNL's concerns about the bridge's foundation potentially overlapping with the already built piers 284 and 285 were countered by the police's insistence on facilitating traffic flow amidst the construction.

The same location had been barricaded in April following the completion of piers 288 and 289 by RVNL. The construction of the remaining two piers (286, 287) was temporarily halted during this period. The ongoing efforts reflect RVNL's determination to navigate logistical challenges and push forward with vital infrastructure development.

Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) has taken the proactive step of constructing a Bailey bridge over a canal on the eastern side of EM Bypass at the Metropolitan crossing. This strategic move aligns with the agency's objective to secure the site required for erecting two piers, bridging a 125-metre gap in the New Garia-Airport Metro corridor's viaduct. The bridge will facilitate pedestrians and two-wheeler riders in crossing the canal, named Moila Khal.Prior to transferring the site's possession to RVNL, Kolkata Police's traffic department is conducting trials to assess vehicular movement on EM Bypass, specifically around the 40mx16m barricaded area.
