Commuters on the Bhinmal-Ranivada road no longer need to wait for the railway gate to open. The Kori Railway Overbridge is now operational, allowing vehicles to bypass the frequent closures at the Marwar Kori railway crossing. This development is part of the larger Ramseen-Bhinmal-Ranivada Mega Highway Project.

Why was the Kori Overbridge needed?
The Marwar Kori railway crossing was a major bottleneck for local traffic. Around 10,000 vehicles used this road daily, while the Samdari-Bhilwadi rail section saw 40 trains every day. This caused the gate to close every 25 minutes, leading to long traffic jams and delays for passengers.
What is the current status of the bridge?
The Public Works Department has confirmed that the Kori bridge has received its safety certificate. Small vehicles have already started using the bridge. While the bridge is open, some final touches like painting and line marking will be completed soon. Along with another overbridge in Bhinmal, this project is expected to be fully functional by June.
