The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is set to install a 110-feet steel foot overbridge (FOB) at the Narsinghpur village on NH 48, officials said, adding that they have got the steel structure at the spot and are waiting for traffic police’s permission to install it.
The authority said that the bridge — constructed at a cost of Rs 1.6 crore — will be installed in around nine hours on both sides of the carriageway and will help residents to conveniently cross the Delhi-Jaipur highway.
According to GMDA officials, they had sought permission to install the bridge on Sunday but as a senior union minister was scheduled to visit the city, the installation was postponed as it requires traffic closure and diversion on the highway.
GMDA officials said that due to the rise in accidents at this spot, the district road safety committee, headed by the deputy commissioner, had recommended that an FOB should be constructed at this spot.
