Construction underway for skywalk, FOB at Madhuban Chowk

Construction of a skywalk and Foot Over Bridge (FOB) is underway at Madhuban Chowk to provide pedestrians with a safe and convenient way to move around the area. 

The project, being developed by the Public Works Department (PWD) along the Outer Ring Road at a cost of `9.62 crore, is 60 per cent complete and is targeted for completion by November 30, 2026. Once completed, it will make movement between the metro stations and Rohini District Court more convenient and also help ensure smoother traffic flow on the Outer Ring Road.
According to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the skywalk-FOB will provide safe pedestrian connectivity between Pitampura Metro Station, Madhuban Chowk Metro Station and Rohini District Court. It will make movement between these key locations easier for metro passengers, advocates, court staff, people visiting the court and local residents.

The facility is being built to enable pedestrian movement at a level separate from the road. Once completed, pedestrians will not have to cross the busy Outer Ring Road at road level, improving their safety and reducing conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles. 

A dedicated pedestrian route at Madhuban Chowk will also help improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. The project will provide a safe and convenient pedestrian facility in an area where there is currently no grade-separated facility for crossing the road.

The chief minister said that with the opening of the Madhuban Chowk Metro Station, the facility will help improve connectivity between the metro network and important destinations in the surrounding area, while also strengthening last-mile connectivity. A safe pedestrian route between the metro stations and nearby destinations will also encourage greater use of the metro and promote sustainable, public transport-based mobility.

She said the Madhuban Chowk project is an important step towards safer pedestrian movement, better metro connectivity and stronger last-mile connectivity.
