The New Yamuna Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge located in Prayagraj. The bridge was constructed by the end of 2004 with the aim of minimizing the traffic over the Old Naini Bridge.

History[edit | edit source]
The New Yamuna Bridge was constructed to ease congestion from the older Naini Bridge and improve connectivity between Prayagraj and Naini, especially due to increasing commuter and pilgrimage traffic.[1][2][3] The construction began in the early 2000s and the bridge was completed in 2004, officially opened for public use the same year.[4] It was built by Hyundai Engineering and Construction with engineering consultation from COWI A/S, a Danish engineering consultancy with expertise in large-scale civil projects.[5] The project was one of India's earliest modern cable-stayed bridges, reflecting a shift toward international infrastructure collaboration and urban modernization in northern India.[6]
Structural Specifications[edit | edit source]
The New Yamuna bridge is a cable-stayed structure with a main span of 260 m and a total length of 1,510 m, designed to withstand high vehicular loads while minimizing disruption to the Yamuna River's flow.[5][7] It features a six-lane carriageway, with two additional pedestrian walkways flanking both sides, accommodating both motor and foot traffic.[3] The pylons rise to a height of 151 meters, with cables arranged in a harp pattern, that us visually enhancing the Prayagraj skyline while ensuring even load distribution.[6] The bridge is built using prestressed concrete and steel, and designed to accommodate high seismic resilience, a critical feature for long-span bridges in India.[8][9]
