City railway station to have new platform
A new platform for Bhubaneswar railway station is going to be constructed on Master Canteen Square side of the station at an estimated cost of Rs 13.5 crore. The new platform will be named platform no.1 and the existing platforms 1 to 6 will be renamed to 2 to 7. The plan for passenger platform with full-length shelter and extension of foot over bridge to the platform which will be integrated into the Multimodal hub has been sanctioned. The multimodal hub project under smart city project is planned to start soon by forming a special purpose vehicle (SPV). It was scheduled to start in January but couldn’t due to delay in finalization of the design of the project. The new urban design includes platform facilities, entry and exit plan on the Cuttack Road side. An international firm having special expertise in designing of railway stations is going to be hired by BDA.
