Work on the crucial Diva railway station road overbridge at the level crossing that halts and delays all trains on Central Railway network nearly 35 times a day, is now pacing rapidly ahead, with 90 per cent of it complete in four months. However, this is only the work on the portion to be done by the Railways.

“The foundation work of all four piers in the railway area has been completed and almost 90 per cent work on substructures has also been completed. Girders are being fabricated. We have targeted completing the railway portion work by March 2023. It was in March 2022 that we managed to demolish the two-storey signal cabin at the south end of Diva station. After straightening of lines, this created space for laying the foundations of the much-awaited road bridge at the location,” a senior 
official said.
