Alert for Travelers: City Railway Crossing in Bhilwara to Remain Closed for 7 Days; Administration Issues New Traffic Route..
Here is an important update for the residents of Bhilwara—the "City of Textiles"—regarding a route frequently used in their daily commute. Due to essential railway repair work being undertaken at Level Crossing Gate No. 68 (known as the Bhilwara City Gate)—located within the Bhilwara Yard on the Ajmer-Chittorgarh railway section—this gate will remain closed for a period of seven days. The railway administration has appealed to the general public and motorists for their cooperation, advising them to utilize alternative routes during this time. According to railway officials, maintenance and repair work on the railway tracks and other critical infrastructure is scheduled to be carried out within the Bhilwara Yard. To ensure the safe and smooth completion of this project, Level Crossing Gate No. 68 will remain completely closed from 8:00 AM on May 24, 2026, until May 30, 2026.
During this period, no form of road traffic will be permitted to pass through the gate. The railway administration has urged citizens to strictly use the designated alternative routes while the gate remains closed and to strictly adhere to traffic regulations. Furthermore, they have advised the public to disregard any rumors and to rely solely on official information issued by the railway authorities and the local administration.
**Gate to Remain Closed for 7 Days**
This gate serves as a vital link connecting the Western Zone of Bhilwara city to the main market area. Consequently, the closure of the gate may cause some inconvenience to commuters traveling to and from various parts of the city. In particular, drivers of two-wheelers, four-wheelers, and commercial vehicles who use this route on a daily basis will need to alter their travel plans. The railway administration has appealed to the public to plan their journeys, keeping the scheduled closure in mind.
**Alternative Routes to Use While the Gate is Closed**
To minimize disruption to traffic flow, alternative routes have been designated. During the period of the gate's closure, motorists may utilize the overbridge located at Ajmer Chauraha. Additionally, the Ramdham Underpass will remain open to traffic, thereby ensuring smooth connectivity between different parts of the city. By utilizing these two alternative routes, residents can expect to experience minimal inconvenience. Repair work is essential from the perspective of railway safety. Periodic maintenance of tracks and level crossings is carried out to ensure that train operations remain safe and to prevent the occurrence of any technical issues in the future. Once the work is completed, the crossing will be reopened to traffic.
