On Monday, August 3, 2026, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini officially approved the construction of a major Integrated Railway Overbridge (ROB) project in Rewari. Designed to eliminate bottlenecks caused by frequent railway gate closures, this infrastructure initiative is set to transform local connectivity and urban mobility in the region.
- Project Investment: The ambitious infrastructure project is estimated at a cost of Rs 207.29 crore.
- Core Objective: The ROB will replace three busy railway level crossings to provide a permanent solution to traffic congestion.
- Infrastructure Scope: The project includes the construction of two-lane and four-lane overbridges, alongside road underbridges (RUBs) and essential service roads.
- Executing Agency: The Haryana State Roads and Bridges Development Corporation (HSRDC) has been tasked with the execution of the project.
A Strategic Move for Rewari
The approval comes as a significant relief for daily commuters and residents who have long struggled with the city’s persistent traffic jams. By replacing three critical level crossings, the new ROB will ensure smoother, safer, and uninterrupted movement of traffic across the district. Beyond immediate traffic relief, officials believe this project will serve as a catalyst for industrial and commercial growth, providing long-term economic benefits to the entire region.
Government Commitment to Infrastructure
The decision was finalized during a high-level meeting in Chandigarh chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. The session saw the participation of key figures, including Public Works and Public Health Engineering Minister Sh. Ranbir Gangwa, Additional Chief Secretary of the Public Works Department A.K Singh, and Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister Sh. Arun Kumar Gupta.
Haryana Health Minister Arti Singh Rao played a pivotal role in bringing this issue to the forefront. She consistently advocated for the project, emphasizing the necessity of resolving the traffic congestion at these crossings to serve the public interest. With the formal approval now granted, the HSRDC is expected to initiate the planning and construction phases to ensure the project meets its developmental goals, ultimately modernizing the transport landscape of Rewari.
