CONSTRUCTION

The Construction Organisation of South Central Railway came into being with the formation of SCR on October 2, 1966. The organisation executes construction projects on entire South Central Railway, covering the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Goa.

Construction of bridges over River Godavari and River Krishna, besides doubling works have been the major achievements of this department. A major boost to construction activities was given when the Railways, in consultation with the Planning Commission, decided to give a thrust to Gauge conversion – from Metre Gauge & Narrow Gauge to Broad Gauge - by taking up Project Uni Gauge in 1992.
