The government will build two new overbridges at Jhanjhari and Singhupur railway crossings on the Dosti Nagar Bypass in Unnao. These bridges will be constructed at a total cost of one billion rupees. The main goal is to remove traffic jams and make travel easier for heavy vehicles in the area.
What are the key details of the new overbridges?
The announcement for these overbridges was made on April 27, 2026. The project focuses on the Dosti Nagar Bypass where heavy traffic often leads to long delays. By building these bridges, the Public Works Department (PWD), Uttar Pradesh State Bridge Corporation, and Indian Railways aim to ensure a smooth flow of vehicles without railway crossing interruptions.
How does this fit into the larger railway development in Unnao?
This project is part of a larger plan to improve connectivity in the region. Several other initiatives have been implemented recently to reduce congestion on the Kanpur-Lucknow and Unnao-Raebareli routes.
