In a significant move to enhance traffic flow between Noida and Greater Noida, the Uttar Pradesh government is set to approve the construction of a new expressway along Yamuna Pushta.
The Noida Authority has submitted the proposal to the state government and Chief Secretary Manoj Singh, who has already reviewed the project details.
Prior to cabinet approval, it will be determined whether the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) or the Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) will oversee the construction. This decision will be made following discussions at the government level.
The proposed expressway, estimated to cost over Rs 4,000 crore, will be constructed on Yamuna Pushta Road. The Irrigation Department owns most of the required land, and the process to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) has commenced.
The plan includes options for either a 6-lane elevated road or an 8-lane road at ground level. The new expressway aims to alleviate the traffic burden on the existing Noida Expressway, which is expected to increase with the inauguration of the Noida International Airport.
Starting from the Antim Niwas roundabout in Sector-94, the 29 km long expressway will directly connect traffic from Delhi and Haryana via Kalindi Kunj. It will also link traffic from DND and Chilla Border through the Mahamaya flyover.
There will be two major interchanges on this route: one near Sector-168 Chhaprauli connecting to the Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad (FNG) expressway, improving access to Ghaziabad and nearby areas including Sector-63 of Noida; and another on the 75-meter road in Sector-150, also connecting to FNG.
This new infrastructure is anticipated to significantly reduce travel times and provide much-needed relief from traffic congestion for commuters.
