HOW IT WILL HELP

The massive snarls around Wazirabad in north Delhi that choked Outer Ring Road in peak hours is set to disappear from Monday as the traffic on this stretch will shift to the newly-inaugurated Signature Bridge.

The bridge will not only ease pressure on Ring Road, but is expected to decongest the notorious snarls on NH-9, starting from Wazirabad Chowk near Khajuri Khas.

Commuting time to Loni and Ghaziabad will also be reduced by nearly half-an-hour with the opening of the Signature Bridge.

The bridge will also take off considerable traffic from the Kashmere Gate ISBT.

Signature Bridge will complement the old Wazirabad Bridge that serves as a major arterial link across the Yamuna for lakhs of people living in several northeast Delhi colonies and caters to more than two lakh vehicles each day.

Some of the vehicles from Rohini and outer Delhi, going towards Loni, can now be diverted through the Wazirabad Bridge.

NEW DELHI: Delhi's long-awaited Signature Bridge - the first asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge in India - was opened for the public on Sunday amid scuffle between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and AAP supporters with the Delhi president of the saffron party Manoj Tiwari reaching the site "uninvited", as per TV reports.The 575-metre bridge was inaugurated by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal , who greeted the people of Delhi on Twitter, saying "Aaj ka din sabke liye shubh hai (Let this day be auspicious for all)".The project aims to reduce travel time and traffic congestion between the north-eastern and northern parts of the national capital .The bridge, built over the Yamuna River , also includes a glass-steel observation deck at the top of the bridge, although it will not be available for public use for at least another three months, according to media reports. The deck offers a panoramic view of the city.The project was announced in 2004, although a number of hurdles and budget modifications led to the project being delayed several times.
