Sealdah division undertaken 23-Hour Mega Block for Bridge Up gradation.

To ensure the highest standards of structural safety and to facilitate faster train movement, Eastern Railway, Sealdah Division is undertaking a major 23-hour Traffic and Power block for the launching of new girders at Bridge No. X-25. The work will take place between Kankurgachi (KGK) and Ballygunge (BLN) stations on the UP and DN Chord Lines from 22:00 hrs. of 24.1.2026 to 21:00 hrs. of 25.1.2026 (Saturday/Sunday).

The existing girders, having served their lifespan, are being replaced as part of a proactive safety initiative. The installation of modern, robust girders will not only reinforce the structural integrity of the bridge but also pave the way for enhanced train speeds and smoother operations in this vital section. Divisional authorities have meticulously planned this mega block during the weekend (Saturday night and Sunday). As Sunday is a public holiday, the impact on daily commuters and office-goers will be significantly reduced.

Due to block on the chord line, passengers traveling from the Sealdah North section to Sealdah South section are requested to interchange at Sealdah Station to continue their journey. Consequently, following arrangements in train running have been made as under
