Mangaluru railway project delayed, completion expected by April

The Mahakalipadpu twin Railway Under Bridge project in Mangaluru has missed its February 2025 deadline. The project, which began in March 2021, has faced multiple delays, causing significant inconvenience for road users. Currently, only two-wheelers can use the Morgan’s Gate-Jeppinamogaru Road due to ongoing construction. The Southern Railway plans to complete the project by the end of April 2025, using a box-pushing method for one of the concrete boxes. Before completion, three electricity poles need to be relocated, and the approach road must be repaired. Officials expect the project to be finished before the monsoon season begins.
