GAD of Kallumthazham ROB gets Railway’s nod

The Railways have approved the General Arrangement Drawing (GAD) of Kallumthazam Rail-Over Bridge.

Roads and Bridges Development Corporation of Kerala, the implementing agency of the project, submitted the GAD in 2019 and it was approved with changes. “The new GAD was prepared keeping in mind the possibilities of constructing third and fourth railway lines,” said M. Naushad, MLA. The State government allocated funds in the 2017 budget for the construction of ROB at No. 77 level crossing at Kuttichira road in Kallumthazhm.

In July 2017, administrative sanction was accorded and RBDCK was appointed as the implementing agency. In March 2019, ₹30.93 crore was sanctioned from Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) for construction and land acquisition.
