New Delhi: A railway bridge over the Yamuna River parallel to the Old Railway Bridge will be built near Pragati Power Station to ease the train operations between Delhi and Ghaziabad via Anand Vihar.
The length of the bridge will be around 600 meters and once completed, this would be the fourth railway bridge across the Yamuna River. Currently, there are two railway lines on the bridge near Pragati Power Station to reach Ghaziabad from New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station.
The sparse railway track lines were impeding the train's schedule. The construction is supposed to provide more parallel tracks for the increasing number of trains.
