The old railway overbridge in Hisar is set for a significant redesign as the Railways and Public Works Department (PWD) coordinate a new construction plan. The proposed structure is expected to be built in a bow or dhanush shape to modernize the city center infrastructure. This project aims to replace the first-ever overbridge built in the city, which currently struggles with modern traffic loads.
Key features of the proposed dhanush shaped bridge
The bow-shaped design is being considered to provide a wider span and better aesthetic appeal in the heart of Hisar. PWD officials and Railway engineers are working on the technical feasibility of this architectural style. The goal is to ensure that the new structure can handle heavy vehicle movement while reducing congestion on the approach roads. Once the final layout is approved, the project will move to the tendering stage.
