After nearly twenty years, the line was completed in 2011, and Bhawanipatna railway station was opened by Das on 11 August 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/article587845.ece| title= Bhawanipatna railway station opens| access-date = 9 December 2013}}</ref> On the same day, the first Bhawanipatna–Bhubaneshwar link express started from Bhawanipatna.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.eastcoastrail.indianrailways.gov.in/view_detail.jsp?lang=0&dcd=709&id=0,4,268| title= Bhawanipatna-bhubaneshwar link exp inaugural| access-date = 9 December 2013}}</ref><br />
