Sagar's 20 Crore Railway Overbridge Opens After 7-Year Wait, Easing Traffic

• A 20 crore railway overbridge connecting Sagar city and the Cantonment area has finally opened after a 7-year wait.
• The bridge provides a direct route for thousands of students and residents, eliminating a 2.5 km detour for a 200-meter distance.
• It significantly reduces traffic congestion and the risk of accidents on a previously narrow road with blind turns.
• The route serves several schools, army offices, and connects to National Highway 44, benefiting approximately 1 lakh people daily.
• This is one of five railway overbridges under construction in Sagar, with a total budget exceeding 100 crore rupees, aiming to be completed by December 2026.
