STATUTORY INSPECTION OF NEWLY DOUBLED UGARKHURD – VIJAYANAGAR RAILWAY SECTION

The doubling of railway track between Ugarkhurd – Vijayanagar (18.5 km) has been completed at a cost of Rs. 210 crore. Statutory inspection by Commissioner of Railway Safety is scheduled o­n 09.06.2023. After the inspection and compliances to various safety norms, the newly laid track will be open for railway service.

The doubling is part of Londa – Miraj project sanctioned in 2015-16. The project is 100% funded by Ministry of Railways. So far, 154 km out of 186 km had been commissioned. The stretch from Londa – Ghataprabha was dedicated by Hon’ble PM in March 2023.

Doubling of railway track enhances the capacity as well as safety. Not o­nly can more number of trains be operated, but the direction of traffic is fixed (Up line and Down Line) and express / passenger trains need not wait for crossing of other trains (passenger or goods).

The Newly doubled section between Ugarkhurd – Vijayanagar consists of 02 major bridges, 27 minor bridges and 2 Road Over Bridges. There are three stations namely Ugarkhurd, Vijayanagar & Shedbal.

During the statutory inspection of commissioner of Railway Safety, speed trial will be carried out, therefore public are cautioned to the be careful and not trespass the railway tracks.
