Noida's busy Sector 1 Golchakkar is set to get a new pedestrian skywalk, with construction likely to begin within a month. The L-shaped structure will connect the Golchakkar with Udyog Marg and is expected to ease traffic congestion caused by heavy pedestrian movement in the area, according to a report by Livehindustan.com
Noida Authority officials said the skywalk will be 121 metres long and 2.5 metres wide. Once work begins, the project is expected to be completed in around a year.
Agency to bear construction cost
The project will be developed under the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model and is estimated to cost around Rs 15 crore. The Noida Authority will not bear the construction cost. Instead, the selected agency will finance the project and, in return, receive advertising rights on the skywalk.
The agency will also be responsible for maintaining the skywalk for around 15 years.

A survey and marking work at the site is expected to begin within a week. This will include finalising pillar locations and identifying obstacles along the proposed route, including trees, electricity poles and a police booth, officials said.
Two escalators, lift planned
The skywalk will have access points towards Sector 15 Metro Station, the coaching centre area and Sector 14. Two escalators will be installed to help pedestrians access the structure.
A lift will also be provided towards Udyog Marg, near the Sector 1 Indian Oil building, for movement to and from the skywalk.
Officials said the project was planned to address the heavy pedestrian movement at the busy intersection and reduce traffic disruption caused by people crossing the road.

Sector 51-52 skywalk likely to open soon
Meanwhile, the skywalk connecting Noida's Sector 51 and Sector 52 Metro stations is also nearing completion. The Noida Authority is preparing to open it on August 15 or 16, while a trial run has already begun.
Officials have directed the construction agency to speed up the remaining work. The facility will also include a travelator.
