India, June 23 -- The final deck slab of the Barapullah Phase-III elevated corridor was successfully cast on Monday evening. The corridor physically connects both ends of the structure across the Yamuna River, bringing one of Delhi's most delayed infrastructure projects to the threshold of completion. The project was finally completed eleven years after work began in 2015 and nine years after its original 2017 completion deadline.

The casting involved approximately 175 cubic metres of concrete, taking the project's cumulative concrete use to nearly 4.5 lakh cubic metres. With the final slab in place, the two sides of the Yamuna are now structurally connected through the corridor, a milestone many had come to doubt would ever arrive.
