New FOBs at Bhubaneswar, Bhadrak railway stations
East Coast Railways (ECoR) has approved the proposal in-principle to construct one more Foot Over Bridge (FOB) at Bhubaneswar and Bhadrak railway stations. While the capital city currently has two FOBs, Bhadrak has one FOB at the respective railway stations. However, considering overcrowding during rush hours in the existing FOBs at these stations, the decision has been made. FOBs are expected to be approved within a week and scheduled to be completed in 2018. Entailing a budget of Rs 7 crore each as per preliminary estimates, the upcoming FOBs will have a span width of six metres. The one at BBSR railway station will connect platform no.1 with platform no.6.
