PRESS RELEASE
SANCTION OF WORK FOR BYPASS LINE WITH RAIL FLYOVER
FROM GUNDABIHAR END TO CHANDIL OF JHARKHAND
Kolkata, 17th July, 2025:
Ministry of Railways has sanctioned the work for new bypass line with Rail Flyover from Gundabihar end to Chandil of South Eastern Railway. The Bypass Rail Line project of 10.6 Km will be constructed at a cost of Rs 343.97 crores.
The proposed bypass line with Rail Flyover is to be constructed at Chandil station where crossing is required for trains coming from Gundabihar. Presently, all UP and DN trains between Chandil to Nimdih (towards Adra) and getting detained. To avoid the surface crossing and detention of trains, flyover is required between Chandil and Gundabihar.
After completion of the project, it will augment capacity of a saturated single-line section and cater to the growing freight and passenger traffic projected to rise significantly in the next decade. The Rail Flyover will also enable seamless linkage between Chakradharpur-Adra and Chakradharpur-Ranchi corridors and integrate with adjacent sanctioned 3rd & 4th line projects, ensuring holistic network development.
Thus, the project aligns with the Railways strategic objectives of capacity expansion, efficiency, safety and regional development.
