Delhi Metro Set to Open Fifth Yamuna Crossing
Imagine the Delhi Metro is like a fast train that needs to cross a big river called the Yamuna.
Right now, it crosses four times.
Soon, it will cross the river a fifth time with a new bridge.
This new bridge is being built in a special way to make sure it doesn't hurt the environment.
The bridge is part of a longer track, and it will help people travel more easily.
The new bridge uses a special method of building, so it's strong and safe.
This will make it easier for people to travel around Delhi.
The Delhi Metro is building its fifth bridge to cross the Yamuna River.
The new bridge is part of the Majlis Park-Maujpur corridor, an extension of the Pink Line.
The bridge uses a balanced cantilever technique for construction.
The bridge is 560 meters long and spans the river.
The Majlis Park-Maujpur corridor is expected to become operational this year.
