Lucknow to get new footbridge, linking Riverfront to Sage Stadium near 1090
To enhance tourism, Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) is set to construct a pedestrian bridge along the Gomti Riverfront. The bridge will connect the Riverfront to the Sage Sports Cricket Stadium near 1090 Chauraha in Gomti Nagar.
Bridge designed for tourists & locals alike
The proposed bridge will measure approximately 100 metres in length, 15 metres in width, and 10 metres in height. The project’s Detailed Project Report (DPR) has been completed, with an estimated cost of ₹84 crore. However, the government has expressed concern over delays in the tender process, urging immediate action to begin construction.
Ten innovative designs were shortlisted, drawing inspiration from themes such as Gomti Gateway, Kathak Bridge, Dev Setu, Smiling Bridge, and Jashn-e-Pal. As per reports, the bridge will feature multiple viewpoints, decks, and an entertainment zone.
