Visakhapatnam Railway Station Announces Platform Access Changes
The railway station in Visakhapatnam is making some temporary changes.
They're working on a bridge for people to walk across, called a foot over bridge (FOB).
Because of the construction, one part of the bridge is closed.
This means passengers will need to use different bridges or elevators to get to their trains.
The station staff will be there to help everyone find their way and make sure things go smoothly while they work on the bridge.
Temporary platform access changes are in effect at Visakhapatnam Railway Station.
The changes are due to construction work on the foot over bridge (FOB).
The south end FOB near Gate No. 3 is temporarily closed.
Passengers are advised to use other FOBs and lifts.
Station staff will assist with crowd management.
