Based on traffic studies and topographic survey, various alternatives for the bridge alignment were considered and it was decided that the proposed bridge would be constructed 600 m downstream of the existing barrage-cum-bridge. The total cost of the project is Rs 887 crore.

The total length of the main bridge is 675 m. As per the approved concept design, the proposed bridge will have a bowshaped pylon (a steel tower or mast) about 154 m high with ca- ble stays on one side and back stays on other side. The main span of the bridge is 251 m with approach spans on either side.

The bridge will have four lanes on either side of the road (14 m each) with a 1.2 m wide central verge, space for anchoring cables, maintenance walkway and crash barrier on either side of the central verge. The grade separators consisting of flyovers, ramps and loops have been proposed to allow signal free traffic movement at the proposed intersection of the bridge with Road No 45 and existing intersections at Timarpur, Nehru Vihar and Wazirabad. The width of the carriageway of grade separators has been provided as per traffic requirement including, future projection of traffic.
