CM Rekha Gupta Lays Foundation For Rs30 million (mn) Foot Overbridge

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta laid the foundation for a foot overbridge near Ladakh Budh Vihar, a project billed at Rs30 million (mn). The structure is intended to provide safer and more direct pedestrian movement across a busy traffic corridor that separates residential areas and local amenities. Officials presented the initiative as part of a broader push to ease foot traffic and reduce the risk of accidents in the vicinity. The initiative aligns with municipal priorities to improve pedestrian infrastructure across densely populated wards.

The project is planned to incorporate improved stairways and gentle ramps to enhance accessibility for residents with reduced mobility and for those with prams. Lighting and surveillance are expected to be installed to improve security during evening hours and to deter petty crime. Planners indicated that the design will accommodate pedestrian flow without impeding vehicular movement beneath the bridge. Designers are expected to consider peak hour flows to prevent congestion on approach ramps.

The state will allocate funds from its urban development budget and the local civic agency will oversee construction and maintenance arrangements. Officials noted that procurement and approvals will follow established municipal procedures and that community feedback will be sought during design finalisation. The administration views such investments as incremental steps towards modernising neighbourhood infrastructure. Work schedules will be arranged to limit disruption to local traffic and businesses.

Residents and local traders are anticipated to benefit from improved access to markets, schools and public transport nodes as pedestrian routes become safer and more efficient. The scheme is part of a series of small scale measures that officials say are intended to boost urban mobility and to deliver tangible improvements in daily life. Authorities emphasised that continued investment in such projects is central to the city's long-term planning.
