A historic project to bring rail connectivity to the Himalayan state of Sikkim, the Sivok–Rangpo line is a 44.96 km broad-gauge railway project connecting Sivok in West Bengal and Rangpo in Sikkim. The project features 14 tunnels and 23 bridges. It is built at a cost of over ₹7,800 crore and targeted for completion by December 2027.
The Sivok–Rangpo line was planned mostly through tunnels and bridges because of the steep Himalayan mountains and deep valleys and is expected to provide reliable connectivity to the state of Sikkim which is currently dependent on Highway 10 which faces frequent closures, especially in Monsoon.
