Redevelopment works to begin at Ludhiana railway station

09 Mar 2023 CW Team

Passengers should expect increased congestion at the railway station as the main entrance and exits will be closed to both passengers and vehicular traffic for the redevelopment project within the month. Meanwhile, work on alternative passages is nearing completion. The new entrance is near the Jagraon bridge, and there are new parking lots for two-wheelers and four-wheelers, with the route through the goods godown serving as an exit gate.

The existing parking lot will be replaced by a multi-level structure. According to an official of the construction company that has been awarded the project to remodel the railway station at a cost of Rs 4.78 billion, excavation will begin once the new passages are ready.

Railway officials stated that temporary structures have been built at the north end of the railway station to house the offices of the station director, station superintendent, health officer, traveling ticket examiner, and railway protection force, as the existing structure will be demolished. They stated that minor changes are being made to the blueprints as needed, and that arrangements for bathrooms and clean drinking water will be prioritized.

Meanwhile, a railway official stated that the contract was awarded to the company on December 18 last year on the basis of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) and is expected to be completed within the specified 30 months.

The project also includes connecting the junction with the Sham Nagar road, which will provide a direct link to the ISBT, building a ramp from the main railway station road (old GT road), upgrading parking areas, reconstructing existing residential quarters near the station, redesigning entry and exit points from civil lines, and upgrading the railway yard to ensure smooth rail traffic.
