Foundation Stones Laid for New Foot Overbridges on Delhi Expressways to Improve Safety
Union Minister Harsh Malhotra laid foundation stones for three new foot overbridges (FOBs) on the Delhi-Saharanpur-Dehradun Expressway in East Delhi, costing around Rs 12.8-12.9 crore. Equipped with lifts, these FOBs aim to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility while maintaining smooth traffic flow. The expressway passes through densely populated areas, necessitating safer crossings. Additional plans include parking facilities, beautification, and solar panel installations beneath the elevated corridor. In Ghaziabad, a similar FOB with escalators was approved to improve pedestrian safety on NH-9 and the Delhi-Meerut Expressway.
