Sub: Elimination of level crossings from New Projects being executed for New Line,

GC and Doubling ,

Ref: Adviser (Bridges) Rly Board letter

NO 2006/CE-IV/LXlWPIl

dated 09.01.2012

In order to enable Construction Organizations to eliminate level crossings in New Line,

GC and Doubling projects, policy instructions have been issued vide letter under reference. There

is apprehension on some of the Railways/Construction OrganizationslPSUs whether Road Safety

Works (RSWs) Projects can be sanctioned by revising Project Estimates and whether lack of

coordination in providing RUBs will affect the progress of Doubling works.

It is clarified that the Policy enumerated in the letter under reference empowers CAOIC

to approve utilization of provisionsof level crossings available in the sanctioned Detailed/Revised

Estimate for sanction of diversion road, RtJB, ROB and get remaining RSWs sanctioned within

GM or Board's power. Policy does not prohibit sanction of new RSWs by revising Detailed

Estimate of Project. Moreover, in case, a ROBIRUB cannot be constructed at tbe existing and

 

nd

line simultaneously, due to some reason, a manned level crossing gate can be permitted

by the GM.

Open line and Construction-Organizations can enter into MOD for execution of ROBIRUB

works. NWR has made praise worthy effort in this regards. MOU between open-line and

construction organization of NWR is enclosed for guidance.

Implementation of subject policy on Doubling I 3

rd

line / Quadrupling projects would be

difficult if the Construction

I

Project Organisation (RVNL) and Open line Organizations do not

plan RSWs together in advance. As such, all organizations should jointly prepare master plan

for elimination of level crossings both from Open-line and Construction sections. However,

if

the work of doubling I third line I fourth line, etc, is entrusted to RVNL and RVNL is not in

position to execute the RUB work for want of simultaneous provision of RUB on the existing

line(s) by Open-line / Construction Organisation, RVNL win complete Doubling Project, with

level crossings to be replaced by RUB by Open-line

I

Construction Organisation at later stage.

In view of above, Railways are requested to do needful and achieve Indian Railways

Vision 2020 of  Zero Accidents  on level crossings.

This issues witlt the approval of Board (AIE).
