Waltair receives one more railway project

As part of the extension of infrastructure, the Railway Board approved Rs.1.59 bn for the fourth and fifth lines between Visakhapatnam and Gopalapatnam.

Three significant and long-overdue infrastructure improvements totaling Rs 6.4 billion were recently approved by the railway board for the Waltair Division's Visakhapatnam complex, which would aid in decongesting train operations. Anup Satpathy, Divisional Railway Manager, said the project would improve the throughput of trains passing through Waltair Division and Visakhapatnam in particular, decrease delays, shorten running times, increase speed, and support the smooth movement of both passenger and freight trains.

According to him, all of these projects would significantly reduce traffic congestion in the Visakhapatnam region. There is a lot of excitement in the Division as a result of the Ministry of Railways' quick approval of all these projects, which resulted in the approval of around Rs 8 billion worth of infrastructure projects for the Visakhapatnam Complex.
