Increasing the width of a road at a level crossing near Titwala station is helping decongest traffic, which, in turn, is reducing the detention time of trains. Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Dr Shivraj Manaspure said, “Level crossing gate 51 at Titwala was known for traffic jams and delays due to continuous traffic movement. This led to the detention of trains, which affected punctuality.”

He added, “A road overbridge at the site is being planned at a cost of Rs 50 crore and works are underway. But until then, to speed up train movement and avoid detention, we decided to widen the road there so more vehicles can pass smoothly and in a faster manner without much delay.”
