NOIDA: The Noida Authority is set to start work on a six-lane bridge, parallel to the existing Okhla Barrage, this month bringing a sigh of relief to thousands of commuters who travel between Delhi, Noida and Faridabad. Technical bids for the project are to be finalized on February 3, while financial bids will be decided a week later. According to the officials, the construction of the Rs 150 crore bridge is expected to be ready in two years.
Officials further revealed that the Central Water & Power Research Station (CWPRS), Pune, Yamuna Action Plan (YAP) and IIT-Delhi have already approved the proposed project last year and it is being fast tracked according to the directions of the chief minister, Akhilesh Yadav.
The traffic on the Kalindi Kunj Bridge, linking Noida and south Delhi, has grown considerably in the past few years. Experts said that the narrow road which caters to nearly 1.5 lakh vehicles daily is no longer convenient.
