Aishbagh–Manaknagar bypass

Under this project a one-kilometer rail track has been constructed from Aishbagh station to Manak nagar through RDSO area of the city so that long-distance trains for Gorakhpur can directly pass from Aishbagh to Manak Nagar without going to Lucknow Junction and thus avoiding the time loss in loco reversal.

Gomti Nagar Terminal

Under this project, NER has developed a world-class railway station at Gomti Nagar. Six platforms have been made here connected via levelled concourse. This station now also acts as terminal for a few north- and northeast-bound trains (like for Patna, Kamakhya, Godda, etc.)

The reports are already submitted and date for starting the project will soon be announced.
