The Signature Bridge is a cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge which spans the Yamuna river at Shourya section, connecting Wazirabad to East Delhi.[2] It is India's first asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge.[2] The pylon of the Signature bridge is the tallest structure in Delhi and is double the height of Qutub Minar with its 154-metre high viewing box, which is a location where visitors take selfies.[3] It shortens the travel time between north and northeast Delhi.[4]
