12 Feb 2024 CW Team

The connectivity between Delhi and Ghaziabad is set to receive a significant boost with the construction of a new railway bridge. This parallel bridge, proposed by the Northern Railway, aims to alleviate congestion and improve travel efficiency for commuters travelling between the two cities.

The project, which is expected to cost around ?3 billion, will be a vital addition to the region's infrastructure. It comes as a response to the increasing demand for better transportation facilities due to the growing population and urbanisation in both Delhi and Ghaziabad.

The new bridge will provide an alternative route for trains, reducing the burden on existing infrastructure and easing the flow of traffic. This move is anticipated to not only enhance connectivity but also contribute to smoother operations for the railway network in the area.

Moreover, the construction of the bridge aligns with the broader goal of enhancing public transportation infrastructure in the region, ultimately benefiting the residents of both Delhi and Ghaziabad. It is expected to significantly reduce travel time and provide a more seamless commuting experience for thousands of passengers who rely on the railway network for their daily travels.

Overall, the introduction of this new railway bridge underscores a commitment to improving transportation infrastructure and addressing the evolving needs of urban commuters in the Delhi-NCR region.
