Odisha is replacing level crossing 184 between Bhubaneswar New and Mancheswar stations with a road over bridge, and the Mancheswar ROB tender closes at 5:00 PM on 5 November 2026.
On the Howrah to Chennai main line
The work is construction of a proposed ROB at km 426/21-23 in lieu of level crossing 184 at the same chainage, between Bhubaneswar New and Mancheswar railway stations on the Howrah to Chennai main line, in Khordha district, under the State Plan for 2026-27. The Engineer in Chief, Civil, is the inviting authority, reference CE-BRIDGES-I-17/2026-27.
The Howrah to Chennai main line is one of the busiest freight and passenger routes in the country, which tells you how little time you will get over the tracks. Everything that can be built away from the line will be, and the span over the railway will go in during a handful of granted blocks.
730 days and a one per cent deposit
The estimate is ₹26,23,01,262, the EMD is ₹26,23,100, exactly 1 per cent, and the fee is ₹10,000. The period is 730 days. Two years for a single ROB looks generous until you count the approach embankments, the retaining structures and the railway coordination, which is where the calendar actually goes.
Most of the quantity sits in the approaches, so excavators, tippers, a motor grader and heavy compactors will be on site long before anything crosses the tracks. Piers and abutments need transit mixers and a crane for cages and shuttering, and the girder lift needs a crane sized for the reach available beside a live line. Keep a backhoe loader for drainage, service diversions and the approach road tie-ins. Bhubaneswar has good concrete supply, which helps.
