Noida Skywalk Faces Delay: Metro Beam Blocks Exit, Sparks Design Questions

• A Metro beam is blocking the exit point of the much-awaited Noida skywalk, delaying its opening to March 10.
• The 420-meter air-conditioned skywalk connects Delhi Metro's Blue Line Sector 52 with Noida's Aqua Line Sector 51.
• Noida Authority officials state the beam was not included in NMRC's original drawings, calling it a 'lapse'.
• NMRC is bearing the cost for rectification, assuring that modifying the beam will not weaken the structure.
• The project, costing around Rs 40 crore, saw multiple design changes, including a shift to a fully air-conditioned structure.
