Railway Track upgradation work Indian Railway SCR Section
Andhra Pradesh / Vijaywada :
South Central Railway (SCR) is making significant strides in its efforts to enhance infrastructure and connectivity along key routes. The latest milestone in this endeavor is the completion and commissioning of a new section between Karavadi and Surareddipalem, spanning a distance of 20.3 km. This achievement marks another step forward in the Vijayawada-Gudur tripling and electrification project, which is vital for improving connectivity and reducing congestion in the region.
Arun Kumar Jain, General Manager of SCR, highlighted the importance of this newly completed section, emphasizing its role in enhancing connectivity and facilitating smoother railway operations. The project, which falls under the Vijayawada-Gudur corridor, is a significant undertaking aimed at modernizing infrastructure and meeting the growing demands of passenger and freight traffic.
The Vijayawada-Gudur route serves as a crucial link connecting the Northern and Eastern parts of the country with the southern states. Over the years, this route has experienced a steady increase in train traffic, leading to congestion and operational challenges. To address these issues, the third line project was sanctioned in 2015-16, covering a distance of 288 km at an estimated cost of Rs 3246 crore.
The completion of the Karavadi-Surareddipalem section adds to the progress made on other stretches of the Vijayawada-Gudur route. Earlier completed sections between Gudur-Singarayakonda and Bapatla-Karavadi have already been successfully commissioned, totaling 209 km of electrified track with a third line facility.
The successful completion of these projects is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the SCR team and officials from Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL). Their coordinated efforts have enabled the timely execution of critical infrastructure upgrades, ensuring the smooth operation of trains and enhancing the overall railway network's efficiency.
Looking ahead, SCR remains committed to accelerating the pace of infrastructure development along the Vijayawada-Gudur route. With ongoing works progressing rapidly across all stretches, the railway is poised to meet the growing demands of passengers and freight transport while ensuring safe and reliable services for all commuters.
