The Red
Line was the first line of the
Metro to be opened and connects
Rithala in the west to Dilshad
Garden in the east. It is partly
elevated and partly at grade,
and crosses the Yamuna River
between Kashmere Gate and
Shastri Park stations.
The Yellow
Line was the second line and
first underground line of the
Metro to be opened. It runs from
north to south and connects
Jahangirpuri with Central
Secretariat. The northern part
of the line is elevated, while
the rest is underground. An
interchange with the Red Line is
available at Kashmere Gate
station.
The Blue
Line was the third line of the
Metro to be opened, and the
first to connect areas outside
Delhi. Partly overhead and
partly underground, it connects
Dwarka in the west with the
satellite city of Noida in the
east, crossing the Yamuna River
between Indraprastha and Yamuna
Bank stations. This line has the
longest extra-dosed bridge
across the Northern Railways
mainlines near Pragati Maidan. A
branch of the Blue line takes
off from Yamuna Bank station and
runs up to the Anand Vihar in
east Delhi. An interchange with
the Yellow Line is available at
Rajiv Chowk station. |
