FNG Expressway: Big Update! Noida, Ghaziabad Residents to Seamlessly Access Delhi-Mumbai Expressway Soon, Check Details

The much-awaited Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad (FNG) is set to connect NHAI’s flagship Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. The proposed project will be 56 km long. It will connect four important cities of NCR—Gurugram, Faridabad, Noida, and Ghaziabad. It will be a six-lane project and the anticipated date of completion is 2027.

As per the suggested route, the Noida stretch will be operational first, followed by Faridabad and Ghaziabad. As part of the project, a 600 m bridge will be built over the Yamuna near Lalpur village. Haryana and UP governments will equally bear the expense of the bridge. FNG will have multiple entry and exit points near other important routes and villages. The expressway will start from Chhijarsi in Noida Sector 63 and extend to the Yamuna, crossing the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway.

When Was the Project Started? Latest Update on Completion

The project was first planned in 1989. But the project has faced multiple setbacks due to land acquisition problems, funding constraints, and lack of coordination between different state governments. The project finally gained momentum when former Ghaziabad MP V.K. Singh urged the NHAI to step in and complete the remaining sections.
