Passengers travelling through the Kota-Nagda rail section should prepare for potential delays this week as the Indian Railways has announced a scheduled engineering block to facilitate critical infrastructure upgrades. The five-hour maintenance operation is slated for Wednesday, July 23, 2026, and will impact rail movement between the Dara and Kanwalpura stations.
- Date of block: Wednesday, July 23, 2026
- Duration: 5 hours
- Affected section: Dara to Kanwalpura (Kota-Nagda line)
- Reason: Construction of a new Road Under Bridge (RUB) at bridge number 148
Details of the Infrastructure Project
Railway engineers will be focusing their efforts on bridge number 148, where the administration is set to carry out RH girder de-launching and box pushing (cut and push) operations. These technical procedures are essential for the construction of a new Road Under Bridge (RUB), a project designed to improve regional connectivity and eliminate level crossings, which enhances overall safety for both road users and train operations.
Impact on Train Schedules
Because of the nature of these engineering works, the railway administration has confirmed that several trains operating on this section will face delays. Furthermore, some train schedules may undergo temporary alterations to accommodate the block. As of Tuesday, July 22, 2026, the railway authorities have not yet published a specific list of affected train numbers or the exact revised timings.
Transit passengers and those with upcoming travel plans on this route are strongly advised to keep a close watch on official railway communication channels. It is recommended to check the status of your train via the NTES (National Train Enquiry System) app or the official IRCTC website before heading to the station to avoid any last-minute inconvenience. The railway administration regrets the temporary disruption and appreciates the cooperation of passengers as they work to improve the rail infrastructure in this region.
