On Feb 28, 2019, the foundation stone was laid by Mr. Suresh Angadi for the construction of the new Station Building at Belagavi.
March 2021 was the extended deadline given for the completion of the works.
However another 4-6 months may be required.
Belagavi is an important Non-Suburban Grade—3 station with an average footfall of 15,000 per day located between Londa-Miraj section. The existing station building was constructed during 1887, about 130 years old on jack Arch roof with lime mortar.
Now a new energy-efficient building with modern amenities is being constructed at a cost of Rs.12 Cr. This is being done under the doubling of the Londa — Miraj section.
The station has been designed by noted architect Bakul Joshi from Belagavi.
The modern amenities being provided in New station building are :-
•Concourse for free movement of passengers
Modern booking counters
•Executive lounge
•Waiting hall for Ladies/Gents
•Food court
•Retiring rooms
•Escalator
In addition to the above, it is also planned to widen Platform Number 1 along with improvements to the surface and platform shelter.
Good news for the railways travelling commuters and lets hope Belagavies will appreciate this fine gesture on the part of the Indian Railways. Jai Hind !!!!!!!
