Construction of fifth Delhi Metro bridge over Yamuna halted
Work on construction of a new 560-metre-long bridge, the first-ever metro bridge over the Yamuna to be built using cantilever construction technique, has been halted due to the rising water level of the river, a senior official said on Friday.
Delhi Metro at present has four bridges across the Yamuna, and in view of the rising water level of the river, trains are crossing these bridges with a restricted speed of 30 kmph as a precautionary measure, officials said on Thursday.
The four bridges are at Yamuna Bank (698.8 m on Blue Line), Nizamuddin (602.8 m on Pink Line), Kalindi Kunj (574 m on Magenta Line), and Shastri Park (553 m on Red Line).
