Meanwhile, DMRC Managing Director Vikas Kumar on Wednesday said that the construction of one module of the first metro bridge over the Yamuna being built using the cantilever construction technique has been completed. He further added that the entire work is expected to be completed by September.

The bridge — the fifth metro bridge over the Yamuna — is being built under Delhi Metro’s ongoing Phase IV project.

In a recent interview to PTI, Kumar had said that this state-of-the-art bridge would be “visually appealing” and become an iconic landmark similar to the Signature Bridge.

Signature Bridge, which connects Wazirabad to the inner city, is “India’s first asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge”. Its pylon is the tallest structure in Delhi at double the height of the Qutub Minar.

The bridge boasts a viewing box at a height of 154 metres that acts as a selfie point. It shortens travel time between north and northeast Delhi, according to the website of the North East district.

Work on the under-construction bridge over the Yamuna was halted for a few days in July when the river had become swollen due to the rising water level.

“The status is that almost 50 per cent of the work is complete. It is in two modules of 290 metres each, the total length is 580 metres. And, one module is complete, having four spans,” Kumar told PTI.
