Nagpur Metro Phase-II Gets First Track Crossover Near Lekha Nagar

MahaMetro has completed the first track crossover on Nagpur Metro Phase-II near Lekha Nagar after night work coordinated with the general consultant and the track contractor. The work formed an operational link that will later allow trains to change running lines, with two turnouts together forming a crossover. Phase-II is expected to have 40 turnouts on its elevated main line sections, matching the number installed during Phase-I. The completion marks a key infrastructure milestone on the new corridors.

Track laying and integration of other systems will gather pace as construction advances along the corridors. Teams followed a planned schedule to carry out the crossover installation at night to minimise disruption and to align with safety and engineering requirements. The contractor and consultant worked under the supervision of MahaMetro technical leads to ensure alignment, rail geometry and ballast and fastening arrangements met specifications. Temporary protections and access controls were maintained for worker safety.

Before the new corridors can begin trial runs and be commissioned, signalling, traction, telecommunications and other metro systems will need to be installed and integrated with the track infrastructure. Testing and trial protocols will assess interoperability across systems and confirm that switching and interlocking functions operate reliably under operational scenarios. Systems commissioning will proceed in phases, with progress gated by test outcomes and statutory approvals. Operational staff training and maintenance planning are part of the preparatory activities.

The project update also noted ancillary market information provided in the release, including prevailing precious metal rates and a recommended sarafa making charge of 13 per cent as offered for local reference. The release advised readers to follow Nagpur Today for further progress reports and provided the source link for detailed updates. The crossover completion reflects ongoing momentum on Phase-II as stakeholders move towards system integration and eventual passenger services.
