RailMin approves flyover project at Khurda Road Station

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. This strategic initiative aims to streamline traffic flow and facilitate increased train operations in the region.

The flyover, a crucial infrastructure addition, will address longstanding congestion issues at Khurda Road station, a pivotal junction connecting major cities in eastern India. By separating road and rail traffic, the project is expected to enhance safety and operational capacity, enabling smoother movement of trains and vehicles.

The decision underscores the Ministry's commitment to modernising railway infrastructure and enhancing passenger and freight transportation capabilities. 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.
