The Hanumanganj railway crossing on the Lucknow-Varanasi section often faces traffic issues due to track maintenance. While recent reports of a 24-hour closure are not officially confirmed, the railway department and NHAI are working on permanent solutions to ease the commute for local residents and travelers.
What happened during the previous track maintenance?
On March 9, 2026, a three-hour rail block was taken at the Hanumanganj railway crossing (70 C) to replace old sleepers. During this period, road movement on both sides of the crossing remained completely blocked. Senior Section Engineer Ramnaresh and railway police personnel managed the site, and the crossing was reopened for the public after 2:00 PM once the work was completed.
When will the new Railway Overbridge open?
To solve the long-term problem of traffic jams at the Hanumanganj crossing, a new railway overbridge has been constructed on the Lucknow-Varanasi four-lane highway. According to NHAI Project Manager Praveen Katiyar, the construction is nearing completion. The bridge is expected to be inaugurated on July 10, 2025, which will provide a permanent alternative to the level crossing.
