Minto Bridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Minto Bridge, renamed Shivaji Bridge, is a railway underbridge in New Delhi.

Vivekananda Road, once known as Minto Road, passes under the bridge,[1] connecting Connaught Place to the Ajmeri Gate side of the New Delhi Railway Station and Old Delhi.[2][3] Journalist and chronicler RV Smith places the date of construction as 1933.[4][5] AK Jain, an architect and a planner at Delhi Development Authority, places the construction to 1926.[6] It was built to carry a new railway line to New Delhi railway station.[7] It is now a heritage structure; this designation comes into light during plans to redevelop the area.[8][9] The bridge is named after Gilbert Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, 4th Earl of Minto who was the viceroy and governor-general of India from 1905 to 1910.[6] It was renamed Shivaji Bridge however the old name is more commonly used.[6] The now shut restaurants 'Blue Star' and 'Splash Bar & Restaurant' were located in its vicinity.[6][2]

The underpass is known to face waterlogging since India's independence.[5][9]
