The bridge will be built by the Department of Railways at an estimated cost of Rs. 40 crore. Speaking on the occasion, Rajen Gohain said that the construction work was expected to begin within three months. Once work was completed, the people of Kampur area would be free of impediments.

Constant traffic congestion at Kampur level crossing had driven the residents to take out various protest rallies demanding a railway flyover since the last couple of years or so.
