The railway administration is speeding up the construction of a new road on the southern side of the Siddharthnagar railway station. This project aims to reduce the traffic jams that frequently occur at the northern railway crossing. The work is expected to be completed within two months from April 26, 2026.
🚨: Meerut Route Speed Upgrade: Trains to run at 130 Kmph between Ghaziabad and Saharanpur।
What are the key updates on the new road and station entry?
A second entry point is being developed on the south side to help passengers avoid the crowded north crossing. The railway administration has already filled pits on the vacant land and started building a boundary wall near populated areas. To support this, a new booking window is also planned for the south side, and its foundation work is already finished.
What is the current status of the construction work?
The ground has been leveled and sand has been applied to manage moisture. Gravel laying and compaction are scheduled to happen within the next two to four days. Additionally, a drain alongside the road is being built, with about half of the work already completed.
How does this fit into the larger development plan?
This project follows the redevelopment of Siddharthnagar station under the Amrit Station Scheme, which cost ₹10.92 crore and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi around May 2025. It also connects with the broader Bahraich-Khalilabad rail line project.
