Noida Metro Skywalk Between Sector 51 and 52 Stations Remains Closed Over a Year

A 300-metre air-conditioned skywalk connecting Noida's DMRC Sector 52 and NMRC Sector 51 metro stations has remained closed for over a year due to pending finishing work and a structural beam obstructing access. Noida authority officials have not provided a reopening date. Meanwhile, commuters face difficulties using a poorly maintained, encroached road with limited walking space, worsened by parking arrangements and flooding during rains, causing daily inconvenience.
