Decks cleared for ₹183-cr RoBs in Uttar Pradesh
The Bharwara crossing closes around 45 times a day, resulting in frequent traffic congestion, especially on the Gomti Nagar extension side where land availability is limited. To address this, a rotary will be constructed, and the project is expected to cost ₹65 crore. The construction of a two-lane ROB at the Krishnanagar-Kesari Khera crossing, which sees more than 100 trains pass through it daily, has also been approved at a cost of ₹75 crore. Upon completion, this overbridge is expected to benefit those travelling from Kanpur Road to Hardoi Road, particularly Hardoi-bound trucks that currently have to pass through Avadh rotary.
Furthermore, a two-lane bridge will be constructed at the Harauni-Jaitipur rail crossing on the Bani-Mohan Road in Lucknow, which is expected to cost ₹43 crore. The construction of these overbridges is expected to provide significant relief to the residents of Lucknow by easing traffic congestion and improving connectivity.
