People of Vijalpore village are facing acute traffic problem at railway crossing road in Navsari. The main reasonfor this problem is passage of more number of trains from here which results in closure of railway gate for longer periods oftime. People have to wait for several minutes to pass through this railway crossing. Also, a underpass situated near therailway crossing is very small and water gets accumulated under in rainy season. Drainage system for removal of water isnot adequate near the underpass. In order to solve this traffic problem, planning and constructing a Flyover Bridge overrailway crossing may be a viable option. For planning of bridge, a site visit and traffic survey at railway crossing needed tobe carried out. Also for planning of fly over bridge over railway crossing, basic rules and standards in bridge design as perIndian standards code should be considered. Keeping the above points in view, a survey was conducted during this study toexplore the possibility of planning and constructing a fly-over bridge at Vijalpore railway crossing.
