NCRTC Installs 200-Tonne Steel Span at Barapullah Flyover

The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has completed the installation of a two hundred-tonne steel span over the Barapullah flyover, linking Sarai Kale Khan station with the upcoming Jangpura stabling yard on the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS Corridor.

The steel span comprises four girders, each forty metres long and weighing fifty tonnes. The structure was installed in ten nights with support from the Public Works Department and Delhi Traffic Police to avoid major traffic disruption.

To manage the complex elevation and space constraints, a special two-stage lifting method was used. Initially, two cranes stationed on one side placed the girders on the flyover. In the second stage, two more cranes positioned on either side lifted the girders onto designated pillars.

NCRTC explained that such special spans are used in areas where regular pillar spacing is not feasible, such as over drains, flyovers or other infrastructure. Safety measures included coordination with Delhi Transco Limited, as a high-tension line passes above the site.

Trial runs have already begun on the 4.5-kilometre stretch between Sarai Kale Khan and New Ashok Nagar, with the full corridor expected to be operational by mid-2025.
