Commuters and local residents in the Ghodadongri region should take note of an upcoming infrastructure project that will impact local traffic flow.

- Duration: The gate will remain closed for approximately 1 to 2 hours.

Plan Your Travel Accordingly
The temporary shutdown is a necessary measure to conduct critical repairs on the crossing tracks and signaling equipment. By performing this work, the railway authorities aim to prevent future mechanical failures and ensure the smooth transit of both trains and road vehicles. While the closure is brief, it may cause temporary bottlenecks for those traveling between Ghodadongri and Sarani Baretha during the affected window.
To avoid being caught in unexpected traffic, motorists are strongly advised to plan their journeys in advance or seek alternative routes during the specified time on August 1. Local authorities and railway officials are working to ensure that the maintenance is completed as efficiently as possible to minimize the impact on the public. We encourage all regular commuters to stay updated through local announcements and plan for potential delays when traversing the Sarani Baretha route on this date.
