Work begins to connect Palam Vihar with e-way on the Gurgaon-Rewari Rail Track

GURGAON: HUDA has begun the construction work on its part of the 1.3km railway overbridge (ROB) on the Gurgaon-Rewari rail track that crosses the Northern Peripheral Road. The bridge, expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015, will ease traffic flow between Palam Vihar and the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway.

The project, which is being jointly executed by the Railways and HUDA, is being built at a cost of Rs 136 crore, out of which HUDA will bear Rs 63 crore and the Railways Rs 73 crore.

HUDA official B D Yadav said that the construction of the bridge would be carried out in two phases. The first phase, undertaken by HUDA, will involve the construction of a 900-metre stretch that crosses over the railway line near the Basai water treatment plant. In the second phase, the construction of the remaining 430-metre stretch right above the railway line will be carried out by the Railways, Yadav said.

"Work is on in full swing in our section of the project. We have already completed 15% of the 900-metre stretch. The Railways is yet to release tenders for its section of the bridge but it is expected to take place soon," he said.

Yadav said that once the construction of the ROB was complete, it would connect commuters all the way from Dwarka to the expressway directly and give commuters from Delhi an alternative route to go to Manesar or Jaipur. "The NPR will join the expressway right before the Kherki Dhaula toll plaza. The total length of the NPR is 18km, of which the 14km stretch from Palam Vihar to the expressway has been laid with bitumen," said the HUDA official.

Bids for 920 km Rewari-Vadodara freight corridor project by May

NEW DELHI: The railway ministry will invite bids for the first phase of the 1,483-km western freight corridor by May, according to a top official of the railway subsidiary that is executing the project. The move is part of a strategy to de-congest freight lines and accommodate the growing industrial traffic.

The 640-km project-part of the 920 km Rewari-Vadodara stretch-is awaiting approval from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which is funding the project, to begin financial bidding.

 It will be the second project along the 3,322-km Dedicated Freight Corridor to be put on the block. In January, the government had awarded the first project-343-km of the 1,839-km Eastern Corridor-to Tata-Aldesa JV. Preparatory work on this Rs 3,300 crore Kanpur-Khurja section is likely to be completed by June.

The Dedicated Freight Corridor project, being implemented by the railways through the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corp of India Ltd ( DFCCIL), aims to connect the important freight lanes between Delhi and Mumbai in the west and Ludhiana and Dankuni in the east.

The 640-km project on the Western Corridor is likely to go to either the consortium between Japan's Sojitz Corp and Larsen & Toubro or Mitsui, Ircon and Leighton. The government plans to invite bids for about 1,500 km of freight corridor lines by the end of this fiscal, most of which will be in the western corridor. "Of the 1,500 km, 950-1,000 km will be from the western corridor while 400 km will be from the eastern corridor," DFCCIL's MD, RK Gupta, told ET.

According to officials, these projects are likely to cost about 10 crore per km and can help reduce CO2 emission by 450 million tonne over the next 30 years. About 90% of the land required for the stretches has already been acquired by DFFCIL. "The remaining portions are in difficult places or require alignment changes. We should be able to complete this in six months," Gupta said.
