East Coast Railway Completes Limited Height Subway in Record Time

Bhubaneswar: The East Coast Railway has successfully completed the construction of a Limited Height Subway (LHS) between Jajpur Keonjhar Road and Korai Halt, transforming rail-road connectivity in the region. The project, executed in just seven hours, has significantly reduced disruptions and improved travel efficiency for commuters.

For years, commuters in the region faced substantial delays at the level crossing (LC) gate due to the frequent passage of trains on the Howrah-Chennai main line. These delays caused inconvenience and disrupted local road traffic. Recognizing these challenges, East Coast Railway undertook the construction of the LHS to provide a sustainable solution for seamless rail and road traffic.

The rapid completion of the LHS in just seven hours reflects meticulous planning and state-of-the-art engineering. Using the box-pushing method, the team minimized disruptions to rail services, with train movements suspended only for a brief period to meet the tight schedule.

The newly constructed LHS has brought multiple benefits to both rail and road traffic. Train operations are now uninterrupted and safer, eliminating delays caused by level crossings. Commuters can pass freely under the railway line without the need to stop, enhancing travel efficiency and reducing travel time.

The swift completion of the LHS has been met with widespread public appreciation. Locals have expressed their relief at the timely resolution of their long-standing demand. This achievement underscores East Coast Railway’s commitment to improving the daily lives of the public through modern infrastructure development.

The completion of the Limited Height Subway at Jajpur Keonjhar Road marks a significant milestone in enhancing public service and ensuring sustainable progress. By providing a safer and more efficient mode of transportation, the project reflects how innovative engineering solutions can transform local communities and pave the way for smoother travel experiences.
