The skywalk will be beneficial to provide seamless connectivity between one of the busiest hubs of New Delhi Railway station and Metro stations of New Delhi on the Yellow Line and the Airport Express Line. Apart from providing seamless connectivity, the skywalk will also help in streamlining the traffic flow on the Ajmeri Gate side of the railway station.
It has been provided with escalators along with facilities such as CCTV surveillance cameras and other facilities. The construction of this unique skywalk in a hub witnessing significant traffic was a major engineering challenge, including the disruptions posed due to Covid-19 pandemic.
