Overview
- The Trans-Yamuna Board proposed the new crossing in a recent meeting with Public Works Department officials.
- Options under review include constructing a bridge near the Signature Bridge or replacing the Old Iron Bridge known as Loha Pul.
- Officials describe the plan as preliminary with no final location, design, approvals, or funding announced.
- The study will evaluate traffic congestion and vehicular movement to identify a suitable location that strengthens links between Trans-Yamuna and North, North East, and Central Delhi.
- Rising volumes expected around Sarai Kale Khan due to the Delhi-Meerut and Delhi-Dehradun expressways, the upcoming DND–Sohna (Jewar) link, and RRTS connections are driving the proposal.
