How do bridges across the Yamuna River help Delhi’s transportation system?

Bridges spanning the Yamuna River are essential to Delhi’s transportation infrastructure, primarily by easing the flow of traffic across the city.1

As Delhi has experienced explosive population growth, its original traffic-circulation patterns became significantly overburdened. The construction of several new bridges during the late 20th and early 21st centuries has been instrumental in mitigating this congestion, providing critical connectivity between different parts of the city. These crossings complement other transit improvements, such as the Delhi Metro and the expansion of road networks, to help manage the high volume of daily commuters and vehicles in the capital.1
