Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region G. Kishan Reddy, on Wednesday, said the Railway Board has cleared a survey to build an ‘Outer Ring Rail’ railway line alongside the upcoming 350-km Regional Ring Road (RRR) outside the existing Outer Ring Road (ORR) of the Hyderabad capital region.
“It will be a ₹14 crore feasibility study where the Railways will be looking into pros and cons of building the line in parallel to the upcoming road network and elevated sections wherever necessary at crossings and junction stations. A communication has been sent to the State government about the work,” he told a press conference from New Delhi.
The railway length is expected to be about 536 km for the ORR (rail) and survey is also for bypass lines at Akkanapet, Yadadri, Chityal, Burgula, Vikarabad and Gate Vanampalli.
