STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (a)  TO  (d)  OF UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.637 BY SHRI OMPRAKASH BHUPALSINH alias PAWAN RAJENIMBALKAR TO BE ANSWERED IN LOK SABHA ON 01.12.2021 REGARDING ROB/RUB IN MAHARASHTRA

(a) to (d):  As on Oct'2021, 158 Road over Bridges (ROBs) and 249 Road under Bridges (RUBs) have been sanctioned by Ministry of Railways in Maharashtra. Out of 158 ROBs, Railway portion have been completed in 13 and work is in progress in other 65 ROBs. Remaining 80 works are at planning stage like finalization of alignment and preparation of estimate  etc.  Similarly,  out  of  249  RUBs,  63  works  are  in  progress. Remaining  186  works  are  at  planning  stage  like finalization of alignment and preparation of estimate etc.

Section-wise details are appended.

Construction of ROB/RUBs  depends  upon the consent of State Government for closure of LCs and cost sharing, wherever applicable, availability  of  encroachment  free  land  for  approach  roads,  technical feasibility,  shifting  of  utilities,  allocation  of  adequate  funds  by  State agencies,  public  support  etc.  therefore,  it  is  not  feasible  to  fix timelines for completion of these ROB/RUBs.
