The project – keenly awaited by thousands of harrowed
road users – is expected to be completed in a year’s time. Palakkad
Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Anand Prakash told The Hindu on Tuesday that the tender for the project will be called soon and the work would commence immediately after the monsoons.
He
said the CRS had expressed doubts about the box-pushing technology to
be adopted to drill underground bore to construct the RUB without
affecting the functioning of the level-crossing. However, the Railways
had convinced the CRS on the safety of the technology.
While
boring the ground, precautions would be taken to ensure that the earth
does not cave in, Mr. Prakash
said. A shield would be in place to
prevent any accident. “This is an accepted technology now,” he said.
Mangalore
City Corporation (MCC) is expected to bear half the cost of the
project. The DRM said the Railways had already received the amount due
from the MCC.
