The Indian Railways has approved a crucial infrastructure project to construct a flyover at Khurda Road station in Odisha. This initiative is designed to streamline train operations by easing congestion and enhancing the efficiency of rail traffic in the region.

The flyover will facilitate smoother movement of trains passing through Khurda Road station, a vital junction on the railway network connecting various parts of Odisha and beyond. By eliminating conflicting movements and reducing waiting times, the project aims to improve punctuality and operational efficiency.

The approval for the flyover project underscores Indian Railways' commitment to upgrading infrastructure and modernising railway facilities to meet growing demands and enhance passenger and freight transportation services.

The flyover construction is expected to benefit both passenger and freight trains, reducing travel time and enhancing safety at the station. It will also contribute to minimising operational disruptions and improving the overall reliability of train services in the region.

This infrastructure development aligns with the government's efforts to modernise railway infrastructure across India, ensuring smoother and more efficient transportation of goods and passengers. The flyover project at Khurda Road station is anticipated to have a significant impact on enhancing rail connectivity and supporting economic growth in Odisha and neighbouring states.
