The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has commenced work on the 5th Metro bridge over the river Yamuna, with a length of 560 metres. It will connect the Soorghat Metro Station and the Sonia Vihar Metro Station of the Majlis Park – Maujpur corridor. After carrying out a geotechnical investigation at the location of proposed piers, the activity of casting of test piles is in full swing. A cofferdam away from the active course of Yamuna has been constructed by raising the level of the ground by filling of earth and sand with the protection of its slope through bamboo, jute netting and sandbags. Its level has been kept the same as of the adjacent road to ensure the supply of requisite construction materials like steel reinforcement, metal liner and ready mix concrete. This bridge is coming up between two existing bridges on Yamuna i.e. Wazirabad Bridge and the Signature Bridge. This will be the first-ever Metro Bridge over the Yamuna to be built using the Cantilever construction method. A cantilever is a rigid structural element which extends horizontally and is supported at only one end. Typically it extends from a flat, vertical surface such as a wall or pier, to which it must be firmly attached. Cantilever construction allows overhanging structures without additional support and the introduction of it will make the bridge look aesthetically better.
