DMRC also stated the challenges that the engineers faced while constructing the unique skywalk, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The structure had to be built above a functional underground metro station just 3 metres below with major traffic movement on Bhavbhuti Marg. Also, the bridge had to be connected to two pre-existing building structures at the far ends ensuring minimum inconvenience to the people, infrastructure and other buildings nearby," DMRC added.
