Ashu says one side of under-bridge will open in three months
LUDHIANA: The New Year can bring some respite from traffic jams near Pakhowal Road railway crossing, as one side of the under-bridge is likely to be opened in three months.
For the past 15 years, the residents have been raising the demand of a railway over-bridge at the crossing from where many trains pass during the day, leading to long queues of vehicles. Cabinet minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu, after inspecting the project on Sunday, claimed that in the next three months one side of the under-bridge would open.
The Pakhowal Road railway crossing falls on the busy Ferozepur-Ludhiana rail line near a convent school. The crossing has been a bugbear for the commuters.
