Twin tower near Niamuddin road
Just 83m downstream of the Nizamuddin road bridge, another bridge has come up on the Yamuna mirroring the location of its pillars exactly. For Delhi Metro, constructing the bridge to link Hazrat Nizamuddin with Mayur Vihar-I has been an exercise in replicating the existing road bridge.
The idea was to align the pillars of the two bridges so as to not disturb the flow of water in the Yamuna. The new bridge across the Yamuna will connect two Metro stations across a distance of 3.9km–the farthest in Delhi outside of the Airport Metro line.
The bridge itself is 602m long, but before that there is a 740m tunnel from Hazrat Nizamuddin to the Yamuna ramp that’s 140m long. The length of the viaduct connecting (the bridge) to the Mayur Vihar-I station is 2.46km as stated by Anuj Dayal, spokesman for Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).
These will definitely bringing down the traffic in this region. The tunnel has been finished very quickly and the work has is going to relieve the on goers about the traffic problem that they often keep on complaining about.
