Study Purpose
ROB : Railway over bridge
Bridge may be skew or may not be.
Provided when road traffic is very congested at a junction of rail
track and road way. Thus to save time in travelling via road ROB is
provided.
Height of bottom of bridge to top of railway should be kept around
8.5m.
Compulsion of footpath and staircase at portion over the railway
track.
Crossing and vehicular subway are the alternative solution.
