Dara Underpass Project: Railway block extended by 55 hours in Kota, highway traffic diverted
The construction of a new Railway Under Bridge (RUB) at Dara Valley in Kota district is in its final stage.

This project aims to solve long-term traffic jams on National Highway-52 and the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.

Kota District Collector Piyush Samariya issued orders for traffic diversion on NH-52 and the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.

Engineer Monu Kumar stated that the underpass is being built using three large precast concrete blocks. Each block is 13 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 6 meters high.
