PWD prepares plan to reduce commute time at railway crossings

Lucknow: The public works department (PWD) has drawn up a comprehensive infrastructure blueprint to bring down the commute time at major railway crossings in the state. Under the 'Setu Bhandhan' initiative, a budget of Rs 1,111 crore has been earmarked which would be diverted via central road and infrastructure fund (CRIF) to take up the projects. Taking the vision of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath forward, PWD is coordinating closely with the railways to identify the locations where such civil works are needed as per the traffic congestion to take up the railway overbridges or underbrides as required. The Uttar Pradesh State Bridge Corporation Limited will oversee the construction and development of the 10 proposed bridges. Furthermore, CRIF will also be utilised for road-related works, including the construction of bypasses, ring roads, service lanes alongside national highways and widening and strengthening of roads. For these projects, the Yogi govt prepared an action plan for works worth Rs 136 crore, approved at the end of the last financial year. Land acquisition and utility shifting for these projects will be carried out by the state govt itself.
