A level crossing on the Raha Kampur road is being replaced by a road over bridge, and the ₹35.70 crore balance-work package, the Kakati Gaon ROB tender, closes at 2:00 PM on 6 November 2026.
Finishing a half-built overbridge
The Public Works Roads Department of Assam is the inviting authority, reference ROB/ST-34/ASSAM/RAHA/BALANCE WORK. The scope is construction of a road over bridge at Kakati Gaon in replacement of railway level crossing gate No. ST-34 at railway km 104/7-8 on the Raha Kampur road, under the programme for ROBs built on a 50 by 50 cost sharing basis. It is item rate with 730 days.
Cost sharing between the state and the railway is the usual arrangement for level crossing replacement. It also explains why these jobs stall: two approving authorities, two inspection regimes and a railway block window that has to be booked months ahead.
Deposit, fee and the block problem
The estimate is ₹35,69,80,000. The EMD is ₹71,39,600, which is 2 per cent, and the portal records exemption as allowed. The tender fee is ₹30,000 and bids open at 10:00 AM on 7 November 2026.
Anyone bidding balance work on an ROB should price the railway interface honestly. Girder launching over a live line happens inside a traffic block of a few hours, usually at night, and a missed block costs weeks. Assam has the Sarupeta ROB balance work open on the same basis, and the NH-15 Baihata Chariali to Tezpur four-laning is live too.
Cranes, girders and a short window
The approach embankments are ordinary earthwork for excavators, tippers and compactors, with a motor grader shaping the ramps. The span over the railway is where the money and the risk sit: a crane sized for the girder weight and the available standing room, plus everything pre-staged so the lift happens inside the block. Transit mixers handle the deck and the retaining walls, and a backhoe loader keeps drainage and service diversions moving between lifts.
