The Southern Railway has eliminated 10 unmanned and 73 manned level-crossings in the State during the last eight years.
Similarly, 35 road overbridges (RoBs) and road underbridges (RuBs) have been commissioned in the State during this eight-year period starting from 2014 to 2022, said a release from the Southern Railway.
Though 100% elimination of unmanned level-crossing gates was completed in September 2018 in the rail network in the State, the elimination of manned level-crossing gates is underway in a phased manner. The Railways are eliminating level-crossings on mission mode which would curb the trespassing accidents involving road-rail commuters and road vehicles at level-crossings, besides enabling smooth flow of road/rail traffic.
