PWD nod to seven foot overbridges

NEW DELHI: As a footfall survey revealed that about 1,894 pedestrians cross the road during the day and the traffic density for a period of 12 hours was 84,407 vehicles, the Delhi government’s Public Works Department has approved construction of seven foot overbridges in different parts of the national capital for pedestrians to cross roads without any hassle. The decision was taken at a recent meeting of the PWD’s Foot over Bridges (FOB) committee, chaired by Principal Secretary Manoj Kumar Parida.

Seven foot overbridges will be built by the department for the convenience of pedestrians to cross roads at RTR Marg, Nelson Mandela Marg, ISBT in Sarai Kale Khan, Inner Ring Road-Mahatma Gandhi Marg (Shakurpur village), Tamil Sangam Marg, Harswaroop Colony and Maya Puri.
