The proposed railway overbridges are planned to be constructed at Gate No. 77 on the Yeola-Nandgaon Road and Gate No. 76 on the Yeola-Bharam Road.

This route is also crucial for the transportation of agricultural produce. Furthermore, it supports the region’s renowned Paithani saree industry, boosting the local economy.
Officials stated that traffic is frequently disrupted at these railway crossings, causing significant inconvenience to local residents. The construction of the ROB will not only streamline traffic flow but also save time and improve road safety.
