In a significant boost to freight capacity and operational efficiency, Indian Railways has approved the construction of a 4.59 km rail flyover from Bondamunda 'A' Cabin to Bondamunda Link 'B' Cabin in South Eastern Railway at a cost of ₹135 crore.
The project aims at decongesting the important Rourkela-Bondamunda section, which is witnessing rapidly increasing freight traffic due to expanding mining and steel production activities.
The Rourkela-Bondamunda section is expected to see substantial growth in freight movement, fueled by the expansion of SAIL's Barsua-Taldih-Kalta mining complex and increased production at Rourkela Steel Plant.
To accommodate the anticipated increase in rail traffic, Indian Railways has sanctioned the new rail flyover, which will facilitate seamless train movement while minimizing crossing conflicts between passenger and freight services.
