New Dilkusha railway bridge

A new railway bridge at Dilkusha, Lucknow  was
 constructed several years ago but for an
unknown reason was never commissioned. The railway
track was laid but not connected to the main line heading
east to Barabanki and beyond. Passing
over this flyover I noticed a crowd, some
wearing yellow hardhats, so can safely
presume work the new bridge
will be commissioned in the near future!
