Noida Sector 1 skywalk construction to begin within a month
No more risky road crossings? Noida Sector 1 skywalk work to begin within a month · businesstoday.in

People in Noida often have to cross a very busy road, which can be dangerous.

To help them stay safe, the city is building a skywalk, which is like a bridge for people who walk.

It will be near Sector 1, close to the metro station and a coaching centre.

The skywalk will have escalators and a lift, so people do not have to climb stairs.

The city will not pay for it with its own money.

Instead, a company will pay to build it, and in return, that company can put advertisements on the skywalk.

The company will also take care of the skywalk for about 15 years.

Work will start soon, and first, workers will check the area within a week.

Another skywalk connecting two metro stations is almost finished and might open on August 15 or 16.

These skywalks help everyone cross roads safely without stopping traffic.
