Bridge work being delayed

No Comments Sub Category:Infrastructure,Realty News Posted On: Sep 18, 2014

Delhi government much-delayed Signature Bridge project at Wazirabad, being built at a cost of Rs 1,131 crore, has hit a rocky patch, quite literally. The Delhi Tourism & Transportation Development Corporation (DTTDC) is now trying hard to get past this hurdle to deliver on the renewed deadline of September 2015.

With the machines required to negotiate the rocky stretch to dig deeper—so that the anchor that will hold the main bridge to the ground can be built—not being available in India, the construction company hired by the state is now sourcing it from Malaysia. The machine is expected to arrive in about 2-3 months.

There are indications that the bridge may get delayed beyond next year stretching the completion period to February 2016 if the present targets for delivery are not met. So far, only the two approaches —eastern and western —have been completed. While the eastern approach has been opened to the public, the western one will be inaugurated next month.

This delay is hampering the project work to finish which will be forced to extend to February 2016.
