Haryana Railway Infrastructure Projects to End Traffic Woes
New Haryana railway infrastructure projects in Rohtak and Bhiwani aim to eliminate level crossing congestion and improve commuter safety.
Commuters in Haryana are set for a major relief as the state pushes forward with massive Haryana railway infrastructure projects designed to eliminate the headache of level crossing congestion. These new underpasses and overbridges aim to ensure smoother travel and enhanced safety by removing the need for frequently closed railway gates.
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw recently conducted a comprehensive review meeting with officials to evaluate the progress of these vital infrastructure works. A formal progress report has been submitted to the Haryana State Government, highlighting several key developments across the state.
Major Progress in Rohtak and Bhiwani
The infrastructure push is seeing significant momentum in key districts. In Rohtak, the Railway Underpass on the Meham-Beeri Road is nearing completion, with work currently standing at approximately 80 percent. This project, estimated to cost ₹50.25 crore, is expected to be a game-changer for local connectivity.
Bhiwani is also witnessing a massive transformation in its railway connectivity. The construction of a railway overbridge in Siwani has reached 85 percent completion, backed by a budget of ₹44 crore. Additionally, a second railway overbridge in Bhiwani has officially commenced work, with 5 percent of the project already finished at a cost of ₹6.22 crore. Work is also underway on a new underpass at the Bhiwani bypass to further ease movement.
Boosting Safety and Connectivity
These initiatives are being executed through close coordination between the Ministry of Railways and the state public works departments. The primary goal is to improve commuter safety and connectivity by minimizing the time spent waiting at level crossings.
According to official data, the momentum is high across the state, as several other ongoing infrastructure projects in Haryana have already reached the 90 percent completion mark. Meanwhile, various other projects remain in the early construction phases or are currently in the formal planning and proposal stages.
