Noida: There is heavy traffic on the Sector-1 roundabout from Delhi to Noida. Metro’s Sector-15 station is located here. There is a footfall of thousands of passengers every day. Accidents happen every day while crossing the road. Also, traffic is disrupted. A footover bridge (FOB) will be constructed here. For this, Authority CEO Lokesh M, GM Water and other officials inspected.
The area will be decided according to public movement
The authority said that the metro stations on DSC Road itself work as FOBs. Hence, there is no need for it across DSC Road. During peak hours, heavy traffic from Delhi comes and goes on the crossings of Sectors 1, 2, 14 and 15. People come and go amidst this traffic. There is a strong possibility of an accident here.
Planning to build FOB soon
Therefore, there is a plan to build FOB as soon as possible. After the survey report comes, the estimate of this FOB will be prepared. Construction will be started. The plan to build two FOBs at Sector 37 has been stopped for now. The authority said that the place where the public crosses the road has both Metro Elevated and Flyover. Hence, it is difficult to build FOB here.
