The closure period is as follows:

- Start Time: Tuesday, July 28, at 7:00 AM
- End Time: Friday, July 31, at 6:00 PM
Traffic Diversion and Alternative Routes
Public Relations Officer Sanjay Gautam officially confirmed the maintenance schedule, highlighting the necessity of these repairs for the safety of both rail and road commuters. As this level crossing serves as a key transit point, local authorities have put a diversion plan in place to minimize inconvenience for the public.
During the four-day maintenance window, all road traffic that typically utilizes Level Crossing number 489 will be diverted. Commuters and local residents are strongly advised to plan their journeys in advance and use Level Crossing number 488, located in Bhandai village, as the designated alternative route.
Railway officials have urged the public to cooperate with the temporary traffic arrangements to ensure the work is completed safely and within the stipulated timeline. While the maintenance will cause temporary disruptions to road movement, the upgrade is vital to maintaining the structural integrity of the railway infrastructure in the Agra division. Travelers are encouraged to allow extra time for their commutes during these four days to account for potential congestion on the alternative route.
