Signature Bridge will be ready by October: Arvind Kejriwal

NEW DELHI: Construction of the much-awaited Signature Bridge on the Yamuna river will be completed by October this year, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Tuesday. CM Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia inspected the bridge in the morning and witnessed the installation of the final pylon at the site.

The chief minister said that the residents of Delhi have been eagerly waiting for the opening of the city's iconic Signature Bridge. The bridge, once completed, will share the burden of vehicular traffic, currently being borne by the Wazirabad bridge, used to commute to and from Delhi and Ghaziabad.

The bridge will connect the Outer Ring Road on the western bank and with the Wazirabad road on the eastern side of the Yamuna river.
