- (a) to (c) : Presently, total 52 Nos. of Level Crossings (LCs) exist on Alwar-Jaipur section, out of which 27 Nos. LCs have been sanctioned for  elimination  by  the  works  of  Road  Over  Bridges  /  Road  Under Bridges  (ROBs/RUBs),  which  are  at  various  stages  of  planning  and execution.

During 2014-25 (June'25), total 29 Nos. ROBs/RUBs have been constructed on Alwar-Jaipur section, in lieu of LCs etc.

Sanctioning and execution of works of Road Over Bridges/ Road Under Bridges (ROBs/RUBs) is a continuous and ongoing process on Indian  Railways.  Such  works  are  prioritized  and  taken  up  on  the basis  of  its  impact  on  safety  and  mobility  in  train  operations  and impact on road users.

Nos. of ROBs/ RUBs constructed on Indian Railways during the period 2004-14 vis a vis 2014-25 (June'25) is as under:

| Period            | ROBs/ RUBs constructed                                      |
|-------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| 2004-14           | 4,148 Nos.                                                  |
| 2014-25 (June'25) | 13,426 Nos. (including 1562 Nos. in the State of Rajasthan) |

As on 01.04.2025, 4,402 Nos. Road Over Bridges/  Road Under Bridges (ROBs/RUBs) are sanctioned at the cost of ₹ 1,00,860 crore on  Indian  Railways  including  541  Nos.  ROBs/RUBs  at  the  cost  of ₹ 5383 crore in the State of Rajasthan.

During current financial year 2025-26 (up to June'25), 15 Nos. of ROBs/RUBs have been constructed in the State of Rajasthan.

Completion  &  commissioning  of  ROB/RUB  works  depends  on various  factors  like  cooperation  of   State  Governments  in  giving consent for closure of LC,  fixing of approach alignment, approval of General  Arrangement  Drawing  (GAD),  land  acquisition,  removal  of encroachment,  shifting  of  infringing  utilities,  statutory  clearances from  various  authorities,   law  and  order  situation  in  the  area  of project  /  work  sites,   duration  of  working  season  in  a  year  for  the particular  project  /  area   due  to  climatic  conditions  etc.   All  these factors affect the completion time of the projects / works.
