A new goods train bypass will be built in Bikaner at a cost of ₹448 crore to reduce traffic.
Notably, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced this bypass during his recent visit to Bikaner. Currently, the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for this project is being prepared.
The construction of this crucial rail bypass is estimated to cost around Rs 448 crore. Although small in size, this bypass will prove to be highly significant for railway operations.
"With the construction of this bypass, goods trains coming from Jaisalmer can run directly towards Merta Road without entering Bikaner station and yard."
Reducing unnecessary rail traffic in Bikaner city will significantly decrease noise and air pollution. This will provide major relief to local residents and improve the city's environment.
The new rail line will enable goods trains to reach their destinations in much less time. This will lead to an unprecedented increase in the freight carrying capacity of the railways.
This project is a major step toward strengthening railway infrastructure and meeting future demands. It will also accelerate the economic development of the entire region.
