A level crossing or a grade crossing is a place where a railway line and a road intersect each other at the same level. In the Urban areas generally the level crossings are monitored by qualified railway staffs that monitor the train movement and close the level crossing gate to stop the interfering road traffic but such closing of gates leads to traffic jam in roads, causes loss of time to the road users and in some cases also leads to an accident. The best alternatives to eliminate the level crossing are Road under Bridge (RUB) and Road over Bridge (ROB). There are 3 main methods of construction of road under bridge. Box pushing technique, Cut and cover method, rolling technique using RH girder. In this paper a design of Road under Bridge or Subway by Box Pushing Method is presented. The design is carried out as per Indian standards, particularly Indian railways standards, IRS (Bridge Rules), IRS- Code of Practice for design of substructures and foundations of Bridges.
