Observatory deck at Signature Bridge likely to open by June 30

The viewing point atop Delhi’s Signature Bridge will likely be ready to open by June 30. The construction of the observatory deck on the pylon of the bridge is going on steadily, and the Delhi Transport and Tourism Development Corporation (DTTDC) has set this new deadline.

The agency that built this bridge is now building a glass façade above the bow-shaped pylon, which will likely be twice the height of Qutub Minar. The bridge connects the Outer Ring Road with Karawal Nagar, and boasts of being known as the country’s first ‘asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge’.
The viewing point, standing at a height of 154 m will offer you a bird’s eye view of the city, just like the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The said observation deck has earlier missed the deadline twice. However, it is expected that this time, it will finally meet the deadline.
Once the observatory deck is open for the visitors, it will be able to accommodate 50 to 60 people at one time. As per the latest reports, the government is planning to promote it as a sunrise and sunset point.
The pylon has been divided into four levels, i.e., zero, one, two and three. If visitors want, they will be able to get snacks at the platform, which will be available on all the floors. Referring to this development, an official said that visitors can take the elevators to reach till the second floor.

DTTDC is also planning to beautify the area around the bridge by building gardens and a children’s park in open spaces.
