India’s first “Signature Bridge” being constructed across the Yamuna at Wazirabad promises to be a great attraction of Delhi. An ambitious project of the Delhi tourism at an approximate cost of 459, the cable-stayed bridge will link National Highway number one near existing T-point at Wazirabad on Western bank and Marginal Bund Road at Khajuri Khas on eastern bank of the river Yamuna, thus connecting North Delhi with East Delhi.

With a length of about 575 meters and a height of 175 meters the proposed Signature Bridge would have a bow-shaped pylon in the middle.

Two high towers will be there to provide double cable support in the inner periphery of the carriageway. Plans are also afoot to construct a pedestrian sub-way at an approximate cost of Rs 29 lakh.

People would be ferried up and down in bubble lifts and on the way they could have incredible view of the city and this milestone bridge would be illuminated in such a manner that it could be seen from a long distance at night.
