The Public Works Department (PWD) will spend nearly ₹ 20 crore on the construction of three foot overbridges (FOBs) and a skywalk in Delhi, including an ₹ 8-crore pedestrian crossing at the junction of Road No. 68 and Road No. 69 near the district commissioner’s office in Shahdara, officials said.
Earlier this year, the Delhi government’s Foot Over Bridge (FOB) Committee approved the construction of eight new pedestrian bridges at key traffic intersections across the city’s arterial roads managed by the PWD.
₹ 8.07 crore has been earmarked for the Shahdara project, while ₹ 11.56 crore will be spent on three foot overbridges at Shahbad Dairy on Badli-Bawana Road, near the Jeevan Park bus stand and near Mata Chanan Devi Hospital in Janakpuri, whereas one crore would be spent on the Jhandewalan facility, according to PWD officials.
Officials said the skywalk project is expected to be completed in eight months, while a three-month deadline has been set for the remaining FOBs.
