Greater Noida: Three footover bridges planned for pedestrians’ safety

The Greater Noida authority is planning to build footover bridges (FOBs) at three locations — Surajpur-Kasna road near district magistrate office, Kailash hospital near Pari Chowk intersection and near sector Gamma 2 — in less than a year’s time to provide safe passage to pedestrians.

The authority has started issued a tender to hire the agency that will build these FOBs under the build-operate-transfer scheme. Under it, the agency will have 10 years to earn revenue to recover the cost, plus earn profit, from advertising on the bridge space and then transfer it to the authority. This way, officials from the authority said, the authority will not have to spend any money on the project.
