Bharatnagar Metro Rail over bridge work commences
In what can be termed as perfect bonhomie between Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) and South Central Railway (SCR) officials, the work on rail over bridges at Bharatnagar started on Wednesday with the launch of girder segments. The facility is expected to be ready in two-and-a-half months. Railway traffic would be closed for three hours, twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

HMR corridors are crossing the tracks of Indian Railways at eight locations in twin cities with Corridor-I (Miyapur to L B Nagar) having three ROBs, Corridor-II (JBS to Falaknuma) having one ROB and Corridor-III (Nagole to Shilparamam) having four ROBs. “Out of the eight Metro ROBs, six are concrete bridges and two are steel bridges,” said HMR Managing Director NVS Reddy.

Explaining the activity, V B Gadgil, Chief Executive and MD, L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad), said that the work was crucial for the completion of project and there are eight crossings in the 72 km project. “The blocks will reduce in the future as execution of works speed up,” informed officials. The ROBs are planned in a way to accommodate future needs like running double-decker trains.
