I surely hope that the traffic doesn't become a nightmare. I have heard about a parallel bridge being built next to okhla barrage. Any idea when the work will start on that???
Hi i heard that the work on the 6 lane bridge parallel to the Okhla barrage will start this month i.e Feb 2014.. it is being projected to relieve traffic on the Kalindi Kunj bridge and commuters from Delhi, Noida and Faridabad. News is that technical bids are to be finalized on February 3, while financial bids will be decided a week later. It will cost Rs 150 crore and hopefully be completed in 2 years.
yeah and it seems that the project has already got approval from Central Water & Power Research Station (CWPRS), Pune,Yamuna Action Plan and IIT- Delhi. It seems that the project is being fast tracked on directions of Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav.
The new bridge will be constructed parallel to Okhla bridge and the proposed 574m long bridge will be supported by 15 pillars, with a 41m distance between two pillars. It will also have a central verge, pedestrian pathways and cycle track. The new bridge will be at a distance of about 40m from the Metro track, which is currently under construction. It will have approach roads from Delhi and Noida.
Yeah...more traffic woes added. but the noida authority and the traffic police has planned it out. The underpass is being constructed across Master Plan road-III at the City Center and Sector 35 crossroads. Those travelling between the NTPC crossing and the City Center crossroads have been directed to take a detour through Gijhore-Hoshiarpur in order to bypass the construction site.
Hi,
The right turn for traffic moving from the City Center crossing towards Sectors 50, 41 and 49 has been blocked. you have to now travel to the next right turn and take a right at Kendriya Vihar, Sector 51. A temporary U-turn has been created on the MP road-III just a few meters ahead of the intersection for motorists driving towards the Degree College or the Metro station.
and people travelling from Sectors 71, 74, 120, 121, etc towards Sectors 50, 41 and 49 will also not be able to take a left turn at the City Center crossing. They will have to use the Sector 39, 40 and 41 road that passes in front of Ryan International School. Traffic coming from Sectors 50, 41 and 49 can take a left turn at the crossroads on the MP-III road towards Golf Course.
