Pedestrian bridge

This refers to the news report, ‘Desperately needed: an overhead bridge’ (April 1). A pedestrian bridge is also needed at Faizabad on the IJP Road where there are bus stations on both sides of the road that join the twin cities with the rest of the country.
Everyday thousands of vehicles from across the country cross this point while the road is packed with 22-wheelers. It has become extremely difficult for pedestrians, particularly the elderly, women and families with children, to cross the road at this point. A pedestrian bridge will not only help people cross the road with ease but will also result in the smooth flow of traffic.
