(a) whether any proposal to construct rail over bridge in Dhaman village, district Amrawati and Sindhi Railway Station, district Wardha, is pending;

(b) if so, the reasons therefor; and

(c) the time by which the above proposal is likely to be implemented ?

Answer given by the minister

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS ( SHRI R. VELU)

(a) to (c) No, Sir. No works for construction of Road Over Bridges on cost sharing basis are sanctioned at these locations. However, a proposal for construction of a Road Over Bridge on deposit basis near Dhamangaon station was received from State Public Works Department in 1995 as the State Govt. had shown its inability to close the level crossing on completion of the Road Over Bridge. The latest estimated cost for the work based on detailed soil investigations, revised location and scope of work is approx. Rs.378 lacs. However the State Govt. had deposited only Rs.73.50 lacs in 1996 based on the preliminary estimate for the bridge at earlier location. The work can be taken up after the balance amount is deposited with the Railways.
