Geeta Colony Bridge (also known as the Geeta Colony Flyover) is a bridge in the city of Delhi, India. It crosses the Yamuna river, connecting the Trans-Yamuna area in East Delhi with Ring Road near Shantivan. [1] [2]
The Geeta Colony Bridge provides access between east, north, northwest, and Central Delhi. It was built to reduce congestion on the 150-year-old Yamuna Bridge and ITO Bridge by providing alternate access between East Delhi and Old Delhi. [3] It is centrally located and serves a heavily populated area, making it an important route for commuters.
Geeta Colony Bridge is a dual carriageway bridge that spans 560 meters divided into 14 40 meter segments. It has two roadways each 9 meters wide, and bicycle and pedestrian lanes on both sides and a central median verge. [3] The total width of the bridge is 27.1 meters. [1] An estimated 220,000 vehicles cross the bridge daily. [2]
On 29 December 2004, M/S Navayuga Engineering Co. Ltd. contracted to construct the bridge, at a cost of 99.765 crore INR. It was allotted a construction period of 36 months. [1]
On 27 December 2019, in response to protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act, the bridge was barricaded, causing significant traffic delays. [4] [5]
