DMRC starts Yamuna bridge work under Phase-IV

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is set to launch construction of a bridge on the Yamuna under Phase IV, connecting the Wazirabad Bridge and the Signature Bridge. Delhi Metro will construct a 560m-long bridge on River Yamuna on the Majlis Park – Maujpur corridor of Phase IV, said spokesperson of DMRC Anuj Dayal. This will be the fifth bridge of Delhi Metro on the river. Currently, there are four bridges of Delhi Metro on Yamuna at Kashmere Gate – Shastri Park (Red Line), Indraprastha – Yamuna Bank (Blue Line), Okhla Bird Sanctuary – Kalindi Kunj (Magenta Line) and Sarai Kale Khan (Nizamuddin) – Mayur Vihar Phase – I (Pink Line) ― besides connecting the Soorghat Metro Station and Sonia Vihar Metro Station of the Majlis Park – Maujpur corridor. Due to the rocky strata, the bridge will be constructed using the Piling Method instead of the Well Foundation method. The bridge crosses river Yamuna at about 385m downward of old Wazirabad Bridge and 213m upstream of the Signature Bridge.
