LIMITED HEIGHT SUBWAY CONSTRUCTED BETWEEN AMBIKA KALNA AND JIRAT Kolkata, January 30, 2023: As a part of Eastern Railway’s continuous endeavour of increasing sectional speed by replacing level crossing in a mission mode, construction work for Limited Height Subway in lieu of Level Crossing Gate no. 7/3 between Ambika Kalna and Jirat stations of Bandel – Katwa section has been completed on 29.01.2023 (Sunday). The traffic and power block was taken for this work from 06:30 hrs to 19:30 hrs but due to well-coordinated and planned work of various departments, the work was completed at 17:00 hrs only, i.e., 2½ hours before scheduled time and the traffic and power block was subsequently cancelled to resume normal traffic. Construction of this Limited Height Subway will not only increase sectional speed by increasing average speed of mail/express, passenger trains as well as goods trains but also ensure safety for both rail and road traffic. Besides, construction of this LHS will provide more operational flexibilities and at the same time it will significantly bring down green-house gas emission in the locality by diminishing bunching of road traffic. In the shadow of this traffic block, various other capacity enhancement works like maintenance of points and crossing, overhauling of level crossing gates and improvement of level crossing road surface etc. over Bandel – Katwa section were successfully accomplished. 2

ER CONSTRUCTED ANOTHER LIMITED HEIGHT SUBWAY BETWEEN JIRAT AND GUPTIPARA STATIONS Kolkata, January 23, 2023: In accomplishment of Eastern Railway's mission of increasing sectional speed by replacing level crossings, construction wing of ER's Howrah Division completed the construction work for a Limited Height Subway (LHS) in replacement of Level Crossing Gate No. 6/2 between Jirat and Guptipara stations in Bandel - Katwa section. The construction work for this LHS completed one hour before the scheduled duration of traffic and power block was taken for this purpose on 22.1.2023, which was possible due to better planning and perfect coordination in between various departments of Eastern Railway at work site. Nine (09) precast reinforced cement concrete segments of size 7.2m×5.85m were placed safely to complete the tunnel of the LHS. Construction of this Limited Height Subway will not only enhance sectional speed by increasing average speed of Mail/Express as well as Goods trains but also ensure safety for both Rail and Road traffic. Besides, early construction of this LHS will provide more operational flexibilities and at the same time it will significantly bring down green house gas in the locality by diminishing bunching of road traffic. In shadow of this traffic block, various other capacity building and safety related work were also accomplished for the sake of seamless train operations by minimising the need for separate traffic block. | ||||||||
