Railways Sanctions Rs 5 Billion for 2 Major Flyovers in Odisha

10 Dec 2024 CW Team

In Cuttack district, a 10.89-km rail flyover will be built at a cost of Rs 2.68 billion, connecting Rajathgarh, Radhakishorepur, and Machhapur railway stations. The flyover will allow simultaneous train movements, reducing delays caused by cross-traffic at these junctions.

The railway board has also approved a Rs 2.4 billion project for the Raipur-Vizianagaram line under the Waltair division of East Coast Railway (ECoR). Officials stated that this long-awaited project is intended to address critical capacity constraints and improve operational efficiency along the Singapore Road-Rayagada section in Rayagada district, which has been a known bottleneck for train operations.

According to a statement from the railways, a key feature of the project is the construction of a 5.5-km flyover to streamline traffic on the Raipur-Vizianagaram line. The flyover will allow trains to merge seamlessly with the loop line at Singapur Road, ensuring smoother operations. This development is part of the energy, mineral, and cement corridor of Indian Railways, aimed at enhancing traffic capacity and ensuring uninterrupted train movement across this vital stretch.

A senior railway official mentioned that these flyovers would significantly improve train operations in the Khurda Road and Waltair divisions, where major junctions currently face severe traffic bottlenecks. The new infrastructure will create dedicated paths for trains from various directions, ensuring uninterrupted movement and reducing travel times. This improvement is expected to enhance the overall passenger experience while boosting the operational efficiency of the railway network in the region.

In a related development, the railways is also undertaking significant yard restructuring work at Bhadrak railway station, which aims to improve operational efficiency and train management at this key hub within the ECoR zone.
