UP Train Update: The dilapidated up track of the railway Ganga bridge is set to be repaired. As the iron sheets (trough) on the bridge have melted, H-beam sleepers will now be placed on the up track. The Railway has prepared a plan to get the work done by undertaking a mega block of nine hours daily from 8 am to 5 pm for 42 days from March 20 to April 30. As per the notification issued by the Railways, more than 700 trains will be affected due to the mega block and 172 trains have been completely cancelled, jagran.com reported.

As per DRM Sachindra Mohan Sharma, starting from March 20, a mega block of 9 hours daily will be taken on the up track of the Rail Ganga Bridge for 42 days, and the old trough will be removed and new H-beam sleepers will be laid. Due to this mega block, more than 700 trains are likely to be affected due to cancellation, route change, brief closure and time change.

From 20 March, Northern Railway will start the work of removing the steel trough and installing H-beam sleepers on the up line on bridge number 110 between CPB-Kanpur Central. During this time, the route of many trains on the Lucknow-Kanpur rail route has also been changed.
