Bengaluru: Okalipuram signal-free corridor gets third railway underbridge
Authorities on Wednesday installed an RCC box in Okalipuram to build the third railway underbridge as part of the signal-free corridor project near Bengaluru’s busiest railway station.
Between 11 pm on Tuesday and 5.30 am on Wednesday, the South Western Railway (SWR) blocked the power supply and train traffic on line 3 to replace the old 9.15-metre girder with a 20.5-metre steel girder. The girder helped push an 11-metre RCC box at railway underbridge number 867.
The task was made possible by 100 workers and a 350-tonne road crane. Chennai Mail was the last train to pass through line 3 on Tuesday night before train traffic was blocked for nearly seven hours.
