The Delhi Metro

Update on the Metro - things are progressing really rapidly on all the sites that we see regularly. We read this week that the section that crosses the Jumuna over to Noida will open in the next few days. There is one section of the Ring Road that I cross everyday. It is a place where there is an underpass and an overpass and there is one pillar for the Metro constructed on the north side of the whole over-underpass junction. I said to Jack as we drove through on the underpass , "I wonder how they are going to manage to get the tracks across this section?" My answer came the next day in an artists rendering in the newspaper - it is going to be a very high-tech suspension bridge. What do you think of that?



My obsession with the Delhi Metro construction has to be memorialized so here is a blog on the topic. The map is what will be in place by October of 2010. It is going to make getting around Delhi an entirely new experience. And having the construction completed will make driving around Delhi better as well. Here is a picture I took last week on my drive home . The construction has moved very quickly on the route that I travel to and from the IES Center. I took a video as well. It will give you glimpses of the construction, traffic and sounds on my morning trip.
