Delhi Metro to build two more bridges across Yamuna (The Hindi 16 September 2011)

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation will build two more bridges across the river Yamuna as part of its Phase- III project, which will be part of the Mukundpur to Yamuna Vihar and Janakpuri to Kalindi Kunj corridors.
Bids invited
The Delhi Metro has invited bids for construction of the two bridges across the river, which has been put up on its website www.delhimetrorail.com.
The DMRC had earlier built two bridges on the Yamuna during its Phase-I and Phase- II of metro construction. One bridge connects Kashmere Gate with Shastri Park station and the other one connects Indraprastha with Yamuna Bank in East Delhi.
According to the tender document, the bridge on the Janakpuri to Kalindi Kunj corridor will cover 14 spans across the river, including Okhla Barrage at Kalindi Kunj and will be constructed “about 85 metres downstream of the existing Okhla Bridge”.
The stipulated time for construction of the bridge once the tender is awarded is 24 months.
The bridge piers will be such that these do not obstruct the water way of the existing Okhla Barrage bridge upstream.
The bridge on the Mukundpur to Yamuna Vihar line will cover 15 spans, constructed about 83 metres downstream of the existing Nizamuddin Road bridge.
• Bridge on Janakpuri-Kalindi Kunj corridor to cover 14 spans across the river
