Noida:
The Kalindi Kunj Yamuna Bridge, connecting Noida with Delhi, will now be widened from four to eight lanes, officials said today.
The Noida Board gave the approval for widening the Bridge at a meeting here today.
"Presently, Yamuna Bridge at Kalindi Kunj is four lanes. It was not being able to take the present traffic volume which was increasing with development of areas around Expressway and other residential complexes in the city," Chairman Mohinder Singh said.
"The board has given approval to widen the existing bridge to eight lanes. Like Nizammudin and ITO bridges, a parallel bridge will be set up. Another parallel bridge on the Shahdara drain before the Yamuna bridge would be constructed," Singh said.
The board also gave approval to set up a botanical garden.
Noida and Greater Noida authorities granted Rs 10 crores for four hi-tech inter-colleges.
