The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) on Friday said the first pier of the elevated section of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor in Delhi portion has been constructed near the upcoming New Ashok Nagar RRTS station.
The height of the constructed pier is 6.5 meters, and average height of the piers in the stretch varies from 5.6 meter to 17 meters.
The Delhi portion of the elevated RRTS section starts from Sarai Kale Khan RRTS station and passing above existing Barapulah Flyover in way of crossing Yamuna river to reach New Ashok Nagar RRTS station.
A first RRTS Yamuna bridge is also under construction for crossing Yamuna river almost parallel to the DND Flyway.
'The foundation work including piling and pile caps is in full swing between New Ashok Nagar to Kondli under package 6 contract and around 2 km of foundation work has already been completed out of the 9.2 km elevated corridor in Delhi,' the NCRTC said in a statement.
'Presently construction is in progress on the entire 82 km long corridor with the help of 12 Launching Gantries (tarini), probably the most in any urban infrastructure project for making RRTS viaduct,' the statement said.
The RRTS is a rail based semi-high speed (design speed 180 kmph), high-frequency commuter transit system, which aims to improve quality of life of people by providing equitable, fast, reliable, safe comfortable, efficient and sustainable mobility solution enabling economic development of NCR and address issues of vehicular pollution and road congestion.
