What are the main benefits of the Deoghar-Rohini bypass
The bypass will allow trains from Deoghar to move directly toward Rohini. This means trains will not need to reverse their engines at Jasidih station, which will save a lot of time. This change will lead to better punctuality, higher line capacity for both passenger and freight trains, and less crowding at the main station.
Current status and project details
The project involves laying 4.5 kilometers of new track at a cost of 60 crore rupees. Work is currently ongoing for signaling, yard remodeling at Mathurapur, and the construction of 11 bridges. DRM Sangraha Maurya has instructed officials to maintain safety and quality standards to complete the work within the given timeframe.
