When Greater Noida Authority built a new four-lane bridge alongside an old two-lane one over the Hindon river roughly 25 years ago, it never demolished the original. That bridge has since developed large pillar cracks and eroded foundation soil, yet pedestrians and cyclists still use it.
On record
The official record states: "Not specified — the Authority has not published a reason for leaving the old bridge standing and unrepaired."
Filed as "Abandoned but still in pedestrian use — hazardous" and dated to Replacement built ~early 2000s; disrepair reported Aug 2026, this entry sits under the "Not specified" line of the public accounts.
What to expect
- A structure best photographed from a respectful distance.
- Warning boards whose advice was, at some point, overtaken by events.
- A view of the water that residents did not ask to have this closely.
- Contractor signage, still standing, credit unclear.

Visitor reviews
“Got dropped off at the wrong gate and discovered it that way. I have seen faster progress in geology.”
“Made a special trip across Greater Noida just for this. It is ninety percent done and has been for a very long time.”
“Ended up here after the actual attraction was closed. Bring water, shade and low expectations.”
