SWR puts 3 pending railway projects in Karnataka on track
Work on two crucial railway lines pending for over a decade will begin soon with the South Western Railway (SWR) inviting bids for a section each of the Tumakuru-Davangere and Tumakuru-Rayadurga lines.
While the 191-km Davangere line was approved in 2011-12, the Rayadurga line goes further back to 2007-08. Both projects have been pending due to delay in land acquisition process.
The SWR’s tender for the Davangere broad gauge line comprises several works, including construction of railway station, platforms, subways and related works, on a 13.8-km stretch between Urukere and Timmarajanahalli. The cost of the works is estimated at Rs 98.39 crore.
