More Details:
Kanpur Metro has achieved another significant milestone with the installation of a steel box girder at Naubasta crossing for the viaduct construction. This vital structure connects Kidwai Nagar to Vasant Vihar station. The first segment of both girders has been successfully erected. Spanning 45 metres, the structure will cross the Delhi-Kolkata Highway without the need for pillars, showcasing impressive engineering and design.
Naubasta Crossing:
- Naubasta elevated station is the terminal station of Corridor-1 and reversal facilities have been planned at this station. The alignment crosses a four lane elevated bypass of NH-25 (Jhansi -Allahabad Road) as double elevated.
- To cross the elevated bypass of NH-25 including its service roads, a central span of 45m will be required for metro alignment at RL of 16.6 m above existing ground level and about 9.8m above the elevated road. This can be done by either 34m +45m + 34m span configuration by Cantilever construction method or 45m span steel span.
