Indian Railways is speeding up the construction of bow-shaped Road Overbridges (ROB) at several locations to ease traffic congestion. In Sitamarhi, work is progressing quickly at Mehsoul railway gate number 56A. The project aims to provide a permanent solution to the daily traffic jams faced by local commuters.
What is the status of Mehsoul ROB in Sitamarhi
The construction company has started placing iron slabs and girders using heavy cranes. A bow-shaped girder, measuring 62 meters in length and 15 meters in width, is being prepared on a square platform near the site. According to Engineer RB Rai and Supervisor Gaurav Kumar, this girder will take about one month to complete. The department plans to launch it on the pillars by the first week of August or by August 15.
Other bow-shaped bridge projects across India
Similar bow-shaped designs are being implemented in other regions to improve connectivity and durability. Here are the key updates from different locations:
| Location | Project Detail | Status/Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Bahraich, UP | Level Crossing 40A | Fully Operational |
| Muzaffarpur, Bihar | BBGanj ROB (400m long) | Design Approved (₹40.21 Cr) |
| Hisar, Haryana | New Bow-string Girder ROB | Planned (1.5x higher cost) |
| Kushinagar, UP | Nonia Patti L-shaped ROB | Under Construction (₹56 Cr) |
How will this affect local traffic
In Sitamarhi, the approach roads are being built by the Bihar State Bridge Construction Corporation. Some parts of the road are currently blocked to provide space for crane movements and girder assembly. Once the heavy girder is successfully placed on the pillars, the approach road work will be completed immediately, allowing vehicles to move without stopping at the railway gate.
