Baltana railway underpass nearing reality
Baltana railway underpass project has moved a step closer to seeing the light of day with the Northern Railway floating a tender of an estimated cost of Rs 4.94 crore for the construction of a limited height subway (2x7m x3.6m) at the level crossing No. C-123 on the Ambala-Kalka section recently.
The tender, invited on March 27, will be opened on April 28 (3 pm). The time period for the work is 12 months.
After the construction of the underpass, residents of Raipur Kalan, Vikas Nagar, Baltana, Zirakpur, Dhakoli, Panchkula, Mauli Jagran and nearby areas will no longer have to wait at the level crossing when a train arrives and remain stuck in traffic jams.
