North Central Railway is bidding two road over bridges in Jhansi division as one ₹124.82 crore contract, with bids closing on 17 September 2026.
Two level crossings, one contract
The Gati Shakti unit of Jhansi division has packaged two ROBs together. The first replaces level crossing 229 at km 1324/16-18 between Rupaguda and Banwar stations on the Virangana Lakshmibai Jhansi to Kanpur section. The second replaces level crossing 367 at km 1126/20-22 inside Jhansi yard on the Bina to Virangana Lakshmibai Jhansi section. Both approved general arrangement drawings ship with the tender, along with the standard conditions, the material specification, a Principal Chief Engineer circular and a note on expansion joints over ROBs. Reference number is JHS-ENGG-GSU-2026-09 and the estimate is ₹124.82 crore.
The harder of the two sites
Level crossing 367 sits in Jhansi yard, and that is the part of this contract to price carefully. Work over an operating yard means short night blocks, power block coordination for the overhead equipment, and launching arrangements that clear traffic within a fixed window. The open-line crossing at 229 is the more conventional job. Earnest money is ₹2,49,64,900, exactly 2 per cent of the estimate, and the tender fee is nil. This is an IREPS works contract, so bidders need current registration and the eligibility credentials that Railways sets for ROB work at this value. The pairing of a yard site with an open-line site inside one contract favours a firm that has done both.
Machines you will need
ROB work starts underground. A rotary drilling rig sinks the foundation piles for the piers and abutments, with a crawler crane on cage handling and tremie concreting. Excavators cut the pile caps, the abutment pits and the approach cutting, and a backhoe loader runs the service diversions, which around a railway yard are considerable. The deck is the set-piece: girder launching over a live track needs a high-capacity hydraulic crane or a launching gantry, working to the block window rather than to your own programme. Approach embankments bring soil compactors and tippers at volume, and concrete for the substructure needs transit mixers with a pump, usually fed by a batching plant because night pours cannot depend on a distant supplier.

Download both approved general arrangement drawings, the standard conditions, the material specification and the expansion joint instruction before you price the launching method.
Yes. LC 229 between Rupaguda and Banwar and LC 367 in Jhansi yard are bid together as a single works contract of ₹124.82 crore. You cannot take one and leave the other.
Which site is the harder one?
LC 367, because it sits inside Jhansi yard. Launching over an operating yard means night blocks, overhead equipment power blocks and a fixed window for each critical operation, none of which applies in the same way at the open-line crossing.
What is the earnest money?
₹2,49,64,900, which is exactly 2 per cent of the estimate. The tender fee is nil, so the deposit is the whole of your upfront cost.
Do I need IREPS registration to bid?
Yes. Railway works tenders run on IREPS, and you need an active registration plus a valid Class III Digital Signature Certificate to download and submit.
