Construction of 2 Four-Lane Bridges on Najafgarh Drain Gets Nod from the Government

New Delhi: Delhi government’s Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) on Wednesday gave a nod to a number of projects related to the development of streets and roads including construction of two four-lane bridges on west Delhi’s Najafgarh drain. “The construction of the four-lane reinforced cement concrete (RCC) bridges on the Najafgarh drain will provide hassle-free and easy access to the areas of Najafgarh with that of other side villages,” Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who chaired the 5th EFC meeting, said.

At an estimated cost of Rs 40.52 crore, the four-lane bridges will be built on the existing single-lane Dhoolsiras Bridge and the Badusarai Bridge on the Najafgarh drain. “Areas such as Najafgarh’s Badusarai, Shikarpur, Gummanhera, Daurala, Dhansa, Jhuljhuli, Bahadurgarh and Nirmal Dham, and villages adjacent to Dwarka and other villages of Haryana...will benefit the most with the construction of these bridges,” a Delhi government statement said. Meanwhile, Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Satyendra Jain said that the construction of these two bridges would be completed within the next 12 months. (IANS)
