Dinanagar, July 29, 2024: In order to streamline the movement of traffic in the historic city of Dinanagar, the Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Monday dedicated the newly constructed Railway Over Bridge on the Amritsar-Pathankot Railway section near railway station Dina Nagar in district Gurdaspur.
Constructed over a cost of Rs. 51.74 crore, the Railway Over Bridge is a big bonanza by the Chief Minister to the residents of the city. The ROB has been constructed in lieu of level crossing C-60 on Amritsar-Pathankot Railway section near railway station Dina Nagar in district Gurdaspur. The work includes work on the railway portion and work of approaches and has been completely funded by the state government. The 730 metre long and 10.5 metre wide project was started in December 2019 and has been completed well in time.
The railway over bridge has 0.75 m wide footpaths on both sides along with which service roads and highway lights have been provided on both sides. Adequate parking spaces have been provided under the Bridge with Paver Tiles. The project is of immense importance for the residents of the city as it will give them relief from the traffic hassles.
The Construction of this Railway Over Bridge will eliminate Level Crossing C-60 on Amritsar-Pathankot Railway Line. It will thus provide uninterrupted movement of traffic from Border Villages to Dinanagar City and further to NH-54. It will become a strategic route for the Defence Movement thereby acting as a catalyst for safeguarding the unity, integrity and sovereignty of the country.
