The closure of a railway overbridge near Maliya, the entry point to Kutch, is causing significant traffic congestion and delays for travelers and cargo vehicles heading towards Kutch from Ahmedabad and Rajkot. The closure is due to maintenance work requested by the railways to increase the height of the bridge for electrification purposes. The closure is expected to last for three months, resulting in longer travel times and causing concerns for the movement of cargo to important ports in the area. Calls have been made for the construction of an alternative highway to alleviate the congestion.
