The Government has approved the Kosamba Rail Over-Rail (RoR) Flyover Project in Gujarat and the Bhagalpur Bypass Project in Bihar to strengthen rail connectivity and improve operational efficiency. The Ministry of Railways stated that the total sanctioned cost of the two projects is around six hundred forty-seven crore rupees. 

 

The Ministry said that the construction of a RoR Flyover will provide seamless connectivity to the Kosamba-Umrapada Gauge Conversion (GC) section. The project extends over a length of 9 kilometres and is estimated to be completed at a cost of around three hundred forty-four crore rupees. It will eliminate surface crossings and enable seamless integration of the Gauge Conversion section with the Mumbai-Vadodara main line. The Ministry added that this will also ensure uninterrupted and safe movement of trains on these critical routes and help fully realise the benefits of the gauge conversion project.

 

Meanwhile, the Bhagalpur Bypass project, which has a total length of over 13 kilometres, is being constructed at an estimated cost of around three hundred and three crore rupees. The Ministry said that it will connect Gonu Dham Halt on the Barahat-Bhagalpur section with Sabour on the Bhagalpur-Sahibganj section, thereby easing congestion at Bhagalpur junction. It added that these infrastructure projects will strengthen rail connectivity in Gujarat and Bihar, enhance safety, reduce congestion, and improve the overall efficiency of train operations.
