Chandausi Overbridge Update: New deadline set for October 2026 as Railway work lags behind

The construction of the overbridge at Mandi Samiti Crossing in Chandausi is currently moving at a slow pace, causing a delay in its opening. Despite an investment of ₹56.94 crore, the project missed its December 2025 deadline. Setu Nigam has finished most of its work, but the Railway department is yet to complete its share of the construction, leading to an extended wait for commuters.

Current progress and department status

The overbridge project is a significant development for Chandausi, aimed at reducing traffic congestion at the busy Mandi Samiti Crossing. Setu Nigam has already completed 70 percent of the construction on its side. However, the Railway part of the bridge is still in the very early stages. This lack of synchronization between the two departments has led to the project stalling past its original schedule.

Revised timeline and impact on residents

• The project has an estimated cost of ₹56.94 crore.
• The original completion date of December 2025 has already passed.
• Authorities now expect the work to be finished by October 2026.
• Residents will have to endure traffic jams for an additional six months.
• Setu Nigam and the Railway department are the main entities responsible for the bridge.
