New ROB to be constructed at Valacode
A new Railway Over-Bridge (ROB) will be constructed at Valacode after initial plans for a road over a box structure were deemed unsafe. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has approved the project, which will include separate over-bridges for vehicles and pedestrians. The estimated cost of the new ROB is significantly higher than the original budget for the road.
- ▪The initial plan involved constructing a road over a box-shaped structure that was found to be inadequate for heavy vehicles.
- ▪The NHAI has allocated ₹3.57 crore for the project, which aims to eliminate accident-prone areas.
- ▪The new ROB will feature a 5.5-meter carriageway and separate pedestrian access.
