People of Vijalpore village are facing acute traffic problem at railway crossing road in Navsari. The main reason
for this problem is passage of more number of trains from here which results in closure of railway gate for longer periods of
time. People have to wait for several minutes to pass through this railway crossing. Also, a underpass situated near the
railway crossing is very small and water gets accumulated under in rainy season. Drainage system for removal of water is
not adequate near the underpass. In order to solve this traffic problem, planning and constructing a Flyover Bridge over
railway crossing may be a viable option. For planning of bridge, a site visit and traffic survey at railway crossing needed to
be carried out. Also for planning of fly over bridge over railway crossing, basic rules and standards in bridge design as per
Indian standards code should be considered. Keeping the above points in view, a survey was conducted during this study to
explore the possibility of planning and constructing a fly-over bridge at Vijalpore railway crossing.
