Work begins on foot-over-bridge near Vellore Cantonment railway station

Work on the much awaited foot-over-bridge (FOB) that will replace the existing manned railway level crossing (LC 127) near Vellore Cantonment railway station commenced on Tuesday.

Officials of the Southern Railway, which executes the work, said that the new bridge will help ease pedestrian woes and facilitate safe crossing of the manned level crossings, especially during night. “Provisions for elevators will be given. The new bridge will have LED lighting, steel railings and an open-sky roofing. The new bridge will be ready by June,” said a railway official.
