Overview

  • The PWD officially set up a two-chief-engineer committee on June 20 to address the overbridge’s 90-degree turn.
  • An NHAI team found the sharp angle was a compromise driven by limited land availability near Aishbagh Stadium.
  • The ₹18 crore structure remains unopened as authorities weigh safety upgrades and land acquisition options.
  • Railways spokesperson Naval Agarwal confirmed no formal proposal has been received to transfer land for redesigning the bridge.
  • The committee will consult with Indian Railways and other stakeholders before recommending modifications to ease the curve.
