The level crossing, a crucial junction for those travelling between Vizianagaram and Bobbili, sees long queues of vehicles, especially during peak hours, due to frequent railway gate closures. Although the Vizianagaram District Collector BR Ambedkar had issued a strict deadline of April 15 for completion, the project remains unfinished.
