Delhi Noida New Expressway: It is expected that Noida airport will be operational by the end of this year, with the first flight by IndiGo Airlines. In view of the increasing pressure of travelers, preparations are underway to develop an alternative route on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway.
The Noida Authority has completed a study with Railways India Technical and Economic Services (RITES), NHAI, and Irrigation Department for the construction of a new expressway along the Yamuna river. The new road will serve as a bypass for the Noida Expressway.
Work is underway on the new route considering the continuous growth in the city’s population and future needs. The draft design for the new road is expected to be ready by January 15. The plan is to build a 32-kilometer long expressway near the Delhi border, between Sector 94 and Sector 150, on the Yamuna Pushta Road. There are also plans to connect it to the Yamuna Expressway near the Greater Noida entry point. This will provide convenience for travelers commuting between Delhi and Noida Airport.
Currently, the only option for travelers coming from Delhi is the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. With the increase in traffic, long queues of vehicles can be seen during peak hours. The opening of Noida Airport is expected to further increase traffic on the expressway, benefiting those traveling from Delhi to Noida Airport. The 11-kilometer long stretch of Pushta Road was opened for public use in June 2014 but due to its poor condition, there is less traffic on this road.
A nine-member committee was formed after a meeting last year in November, chaired by CEO Sanjay Khatri, to prepare a feasibility report. The committee conducted a survey on December 29, examining the proposed expressway from various aspects. NHAI has been asked to provide a report on the land requirements for the identified sections that need to be elevated.
The Irrigation Department will prepare a report on the availability of existing roads and land. The design will be done by RITES, and work is being carried out based on estimated costs. The Civil Department of the Noida Authority is considering the possibility of connecting the proposed road to the Yamuna Expressway. All these reports are expected to be available by next week and will be submitted to the NHAI chairman by mid-January. Officials have stated that the new route will enhance connectivity to sectors including 128, 135, 150, 151, and 168, as well as other residential sectors including Greater Noida.
नोएडा हवाई अड्डे के चालू होने की उम्मीद है और इसके साथ ही नोएडा-ग्रेटर नोएडा एक्सप्रेसवे पर वैकल्पिक मार्ग की तैयारी चल रही है। नोएडा प्राधिकरण ने रेलवे इंडिया टेक्निकल एंड इकोनॉमिक सर्विसेज, एनएचएआई और सिंचाई विभाग के साथ एक अध्ययन पूरा किया है और नई सड़क नोएडा एक्सप्रेसवे के रूप में काम करेगी। यह नई सड़क दिल्ली सीमा के पास सेक्टर-94 और सेक्टर-150 के बीच यमुना पुश्ता रोड पर बनेगी और इससे दिल्ली से नोएडा एयरपोर्ट आने-जाने वालों को सुविधा होगी। इसके साथ ही नोएडा-ग्रेटर नोएडा एक्सप्रेसवे का ट्रैफिक भी बढ़ने की संभावना है और इससे दिल्ली से नोएडा एयरपोर्ट तक यात्रा करने वाले लोगों को फायदा होगा।
