AGRA Division really hit the jackpot in Rail Budget 2016 this time, yo! Here's a brief rundown of what they're planning to do:
1. Building a third line from Mathura to Jhansi and a fourth rail line from Mathura to Palwal, costing a cool Rs. 350 Crores
2. Doubling up the railway line from Yamuna Bridge to Agra Fort, with a fresh bridge over River Yamuna costing Rs. 107.73 Crores (I've been pushing for this for 3 years, even sent a proposal to the GM last time. Stoked it's finally happening)
3. Electrifying the route from Idgah to Bharatpur to Bandikui, with an investment of Rs. 104 Crores.
4. Constructing 16 new overbridges and 37 new subways between Agra, Mathura, and Palwal for a hefty Rs. 1215 Crores
5. Converting the gauge from Dhaulpur to Sirmathura to broad gauge and extending the line all the way to Gangapur City (WCR).
6. Implementing an Achnera Bypass to make way for trains heading towards Mathura without any detours.
7. Conducting a PET Survey for a new line between Bharatpur, Deeg, Kama, Kosi, covering 86 km
8. Carrying out a thorough Reconnaissance Engineering cum Traffic Survey for a new line from Gwalior to Sahjahanpur via Fetehabad, Katana, Rajpur, Jalalabad (330 km)
9. Doing a Final Location Survey for doubling up the line between Yamuna Bridge and Bandikui while also building a bridge over the Yamuna River
10. Last but not least, constructing a railway flyover at Mathura Junction that crosses the Mathura-Agra main line (a suggestion from a while ago)
