| Abstract: |
The paper deals with the planning, design & construction of the widest Rail Over Bridge (ROB) at Railway km. 1429/6-8 between Ghaziabad & Maripat Railway Station on NH-24 at km. 20+213 at Chipiyana, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India. This ROB is a part of package-II of India’s widest, 96 km long, access-controlled Delhi-Meerut Expressway (DME). There is an existing ROB of width 23 m & 60o skew to the main expressway alignment. To provide additional lanes of expressway, new bridges are constructed on the left and right sides of existing ROB. Existing ROB will serve as the carriageway for DME leading to sustainability by utilizing the existing resources. The ROB comprises four new carriageways with three long spans consisting of 115 m steel truss, 74,410 m (61,574o skew) & 66,375 m (58,352o skew) SCC superstructures. This ROB has achieved various milestones such as Launching of 76 m long steel girder assembly, the fabrication & launching of 115 m long steel truss and the construction of 50 m wide portal frame type substructures in an exceptionally high skew angle of around 60o. |
