Delhi Metro's fifth Yamuna Bridge set for September completion

Vikas Kumar, Managing Director, DMRC, announced that the construction of one module of the first metro bridge over the Yamuna, using the cantilever construction technique, had been completed. He mentioned that the entire project was expected to be finished by September. He explained that the bridge, which is the fifth metro bridge over the Yamuna, is a part of Delhi Metro's ongoing Phase IV project.

Kumar mentioned that this state-of-the-art bridge would be "visually appealing" and would become an iconic landmark, similar to the Signature Bridge.

He pointed out that the Signature Bridge, connecting Wazirabad to the inner city, is "India's first asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge." He noted that its pylon is the tallest structure in Delhi, double the height of the Qutub Minar.

Kumar further stated that the bridge features a viewing box at a height of 154 meters, serving as a selfie point. According to the website of the North East district, it significantly reduces travel time between north and northeast Delhi.
