Two railway gates at Panchpaoli in Nagpur shut from Nov 10 for underbridge work

Two railway gates in Nagpur's Panchpaoli area, Gate No. 570 and Gate No. 572, were closed completely from 10 am on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Work is to begin here on a railway underbridge (RUB), so people who use this route every day will now have to take other roads.

The railway administration took the decision to close the gates so that construction can proceed safely and without interruption. The closure is expected to affect thousands of people who pass through these gates regularly.

Under the traffic arrangement, vehicles that use Gate No. 570 will have to go via Kamal Chowk. This has been fixed as their alternative route.

Traffic affected by the closure of Gate No. 572 has been diverted towards Golibar Chowk.

In addition, the road between Gates 570 and 572 that leads to the old railway overbridge (ROB) has also been made an alternative route.

At present, vehicles have to wait at the gate until a train passes, which leads to long queues near the railway crossing and wastes people's time. Once the underbridge is built, people will be able to cross the tracks without waiting for the gate to open.

The project is expected to bring long-term relief to residents of Panchpaoli and daily commuters, cut travel delays and improve the flow of traffic in the area.

Until construction is complete, people have been asked to use only the designated diversion routes and to follow traffic instructions around the construction sites. The closure of both gates came into effect at 10 am on November 10, 2026.
