Skywalk linking New Delhi Railway station to Metro station

A special skywalk was opened to the public on Saturday, offering a seamless connection between New Delhi Railway Station and the neighbouring metro station, which is a great benefit to commuters, who rely on public transport.

Officials have claimed that the 242-metre long modern facility will help in streamlining the traffic flow on the Ajmeri Gate side of the railway station. The skywalk includes facilities like escalators and CCTV surveillance cameras. 

According to a DMRC spokesperson, the skywalk, which is constructed with Northern Railway, will provide seamless connectivity between the Ajmeri Gate side and the adjacent New Delhi Metro stations on the Yellow Line and the Airport Express Line.

The newly constructed Skywalk is an extension of the foot over bridge (FOB) inside the station, connecting the Ajmeri Gate side of the platform to New Delhi Subway Station and the multi-story parking lot above Bhavbhuti Marg via multiple entrances and exits.

Building this unique skywalk on the transportation hub was exacerbated by the turmoil caused by the COVID 19 pandemic and was a major engineering challenge, officials said.
