Delhi to get Signature Bridge in October

The signature bridge project was approved in 1997 after an accident on the narrow Wazirabad bridge wherein a school bus fell into the Yamuna, killing 22 children. “The Delhi Cabinet cleared the proposal for the final payment for Signature Bridge. The bridge, once completed, will take vehicular pressure off the existing Wazirabad bridge. New Delhi: India’s first asymmetrical cable-stayed Signature bridge connecting the Outer Ring Road with Wazirabad will open by October end, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Thursday. The 675m long and 35.2m wide bridge will be the first asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge in the country, which will connect Wazirabad across the river Yamuna.
