New Delhi Railway Station to get new skywalk for better connectivity with two Metro lines

India TV News  

A skywalk connecting the New Delhi Railway Station with two metro lines, decongesting the Ajmeri Gate side of the station, will be completed within the next six months, the Northern Railways has said. New Delhi Railway Station handles more than four lakh passengers per day and the Ajmeri Gate side entry is the convergence hub of the Airport Metro, Yellow Line Metro and the DTC bus stop and therefore, the preferred entry for passengers. Additionally, to handle the huge rush of passengers and vehicular traffic on the Ajmeri Gate side coming via the Bhavbhuti Marg, which many times causes massive traffic jams and congestion especially during peak hours, the entry road and circulating areas were being remodelled completely. "The new skywalk will eliminate the cross movement of passengers from the metro stations to the New Delhi Railway Station and vice-versa," R N Singh, Divisional Railway Manager, Delhi, said.
