As part of the multimodal integration at the Anand Vihar RRTS station, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has completed the construction of three vital bridges across the Ghazipur drain. The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor is not complete without these bridges, and the full integration project at Anand Vihar is almost finished.
The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor is not complete without these bridges, and the full integration project at Anand Vihar is almost finished.
The Anand Vihar RRTS station is ideally situated in the Delhi part of the RRTS corridor. It now connects directly to the Anand Vihar Metro station, giving commuters quick access to a variety of transportation options. The finishing touches are in progress, and the bridges—which are necessary for station entry—are finished.
The Blue and Pink Lines of the Anand Vihar Metro station are connected to the station via the concourse level. In order to guarantee efficient passenger flow between the two stations, flooring and finishing work are still ongoing.
In July 2024, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) achieved a significant milestone by completing the construction of three pivotal bridges over the Ghazipur drain. These structures are integral to the multimodal integration at the Anand Vihar Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) station, a key component of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor.
Enhancing Multimodal Connectivity
The newly constructed bridges are designed to facilitate seamless movement for both vehicles and pedestrians:
- Vehicle Bridges: Two of the bridges are dedicated to vehicular traffic, providing separate entry and exit points to the station. This design aims to streamline traffic flow and reduce congestion in the surrounding areas.
- Pedestrian Bridge: The third bridge caters exclusively to pedestrians, ensuring safe and direct access to the station.
These bridges collectively enhance connectivity between the RRTS station and other transport hubs, including the Anand Vihar Metro station, Anand Vihar Railway Station, Anand Vihar ISBT, Kaushambi bus terminal, and the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) intra-state bus terminal.
Integration with Metro Services
At the concourse level, the Anand Vihar RRTS station is seamlessly connected to both the Blue and Pink Lines of the Delhi Metro. Ongoing efforts focus on flooring and finishing touches to ensure smooth passenger flow between the RRTS and metro stations. To further enhance accessibility and convenience, NCRTC has installed escalators and lifts, facilitating easy transit for all passengers.
Final Touches and Operational Readiness
With the primary construction of the bridges completed, the project has moved into the final phase, which includes building side walls and preparing the bridges for carpeting. These finishing touches are essential to ensure the durability and safety of the structures. Once operational, the Anand Vihar RRTS station will serve as a central hub, allowing passengers to effortlessly transition between various modes of transportation, thereby significantly improving the commuting experience in the region.
Implications for Regional Transit
The completion of these bridges marks a crucial step forward in the development of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor. By enhancing multimodal integration at Anand Vihar, the project is poised to:
- Reduce Travel Time: Streamlined connections between different transport modes will decrease overall commute durations.
- Improve Accessibility: Enhanced infrastructure ensures that passengers, including those with mobility challenges, can navigate the transit system with ease.
- Alleviate Traffic Congestion: Efficient integration encourages the use of public transport, potentially reducing the number of private vehicles on the road.
In summary, the NCRTC’s successful completion of the three bridges over the Ghazipur drain not only signifies a major achievement in infrastructure development but also promises to transform the public transportation landscape in the National Capital Region. As the Anand Vihar RRTS station becomes fully operational, commuters can look forward to a more connected, efficient, and user-friendly transit experience.
