The Ministry of Railways has greenlit a significant flyover project at Khurda Road station in Odisha, designed to alleviate traffic congestion and improve operational efficiency along the Howrah-Chennai and Khurda Road-Puri railway lines.

The flyover project is part of broader efforts to upgrade and expand the railway network, catering to growing travel demands and facilitating economic activities in the region.

With construction set to commence soon, stakeholders anticipate improved connectivity and reduced travel time for commuters and freight operators alike. The Ministry aims to ensure timely execution and adherence to quality standards, reflecting its dedication to enhancing the efficiency and reliability of India's railway network.

Overall, the flyover initiative at Khurda Road station marks a significant step towards enhancing transportation infrastructure in Odisha, supporting regional development goals and bolstering India's railway capabilities.
