What’s inside:
This article provides an update on the Kuttippuram railway overbridge construction, including the installation of a composite girder set for December 4th.
The construction of the Kuttippuram railway overbridge is back on track after a six-month delay. The installation of a composite girder is scheduled for December 4th, which is an important step for the National Highway project in that area.
This decision was made considering the schedule of the Vande Bharat Express, which will not be operational on that day. Work will take place both during the day and night to ensure the project progresses smoothly.
The delay had caused issues for the construction of the National Highway nearby. The contract company has been given an extension until February 21 to complete the work. Currently, there is only a kilometer left to finish the section from Valanchery to Kappirikad.
The composite girder, which is about 63.7 meters long and 16 meters wide, will be placed seven meters above the railway tracks. This girder has been checked and approved by relevant railway authorities before installation.
After two failed attempts to install the girder previously, this time, a special trolley will be used to move it into position. The successful installation of this girder is crucial for completing the highway project.
Summary:
- The Kuttippuram railway overbridge construction resumes on December 4.
- The composite girder installation is a key milestone for the National Highway project.
- Vande Bharat Express will not operate on the installation day.
- The girder is 63.7 meters long and has passed necessary inspections.
- A special trolley will be used for the installation after previous attempts failed.
