NEW DELHI: Aiming to hurry up train motion over the Yamuna and in addition decongest the Ghaziabad-New Delhi rail corridor -- one of the most busiest within the nation -- Indian Railways has proposed an additional rail bridge over the river within the capital.
While the previous Yamuna rail bridge -- sometimes called Loha Pul -- will give strategy to a brand new double-line rail bridge through March subsequent yr, every other bridge is about to come back up near the prevailing Nizamuddin rail bridge to verify faster and seamless motion of about 150 outbound and inbound passenger and freight services and products.
Currently, train motion between Ghaziabad and New Delhi station takes greater than an hour -- and infrequently even two hours -- because of over-congestion at the route, inflicting much inconvenience to passengers. There has been call for to verify an additional path for Delhi-bound trains to improve punctuality.
The proposed 600-metre bridge near the prevailing Nizamuddin rail bridge, to be built at an estimated value of Rs 425 crore, will supply an additional path for Delhi-bound services and products and ensure that trains negotiate the bridge at above 100 km according to hour.
"The hydraulic study for the proposed new rail bridge is underway and we are expecting the construction to start by year-end," a senior Railway Ministry reliable informed IANS.
The construction of this new bridge along the Nizamuddin bridge is predicted to claim about 2,000 kikar trees at the dry riverbed.
As a ways because the substitute of the previous Yamuna bridge is worried, the 800-metre-long new double-line rail bridge -- being built at an estimated value of Rs 200 crore -- is predicted to be operational through March subsequent yr, because the work is on complete steam.
Though the more-than-a-century-old Yamuna bridge would be discarded and replaced through a brand new one along the prevailing website, the street bridge which is a part of the previous bridge will continue to be in use and its repairs will now be handed over to the Delhi govt through Northern Railway.
Popularly known as Loha Pul, the previous bridge will get affected throughout floods as train motion slows down and if the Yamuna water level touches the danger mark then the visitors is barred at the bridge.
The upcoming new rail bridge will, then again, be an all-weather bridge the place "train movement would not be affected even in a flood situation", mentioned the reliable.
Unlike the previous Yamuna bridge the place trains are allowed best at 20/30 kmph, there will probably be no pace restriction at the new one.
