Gwalior, April 8 (NationPress) Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will virtually inaugurate the newly built railway overbridge (ROB) in Gwalior on Tuesday, marking a significant infrastructure achievement for this historic city.
Constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 42.80 crore, the overbridge is situated near Vivekananda Needam at a railway crossing, linking Chandrabadni Naka with the new Collectorate Road, according to an official.
Developed by the Public Works Department (PWD) in collaboration with the Railways, the overbridge measures approximately 937 meters in length, featuring a 76-meter span—of which 37 meters has been constructed by the Railways.
The new ROB is anticipated to significantly reduce traffic congestion on the AG Office bridge, enhancing connectivity for residents of Lashkar, Kampoo, and nearby areas. It will also shorten travel time to the Collectorate, New City Centre, and the highway, assisting in alleviating traffic jams in the locality.
The inauguration ceremony is set for 3.30 p.m. near the Divisional Commissioner’s Office on the Chandrabadni Naka side.
During this event, the Chief Minister will also virtually launch two newly built hostels for girls from the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) communities. Each hostel accommodates 50 students and has been constructed at a cost of Rs 3.93 crore.
Notable BJP leaders from the Gwalior-Chambal region, including Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and Madhya Pradesh Assembly Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar, are also expected to join the virtual event.
Other ministers anticipated to participate virtually include PWD Minister Rakesh Singh, Water Resources Minister and district in-charge Tulsiram Silawat, Horticulture and Social Justice Minister Narayan Singh Kushwaha, and Energy Minister Pradyuman Singh Tomar.
