Noida News: The goal of the 35km elevated road that the Noida authority has chosen to construct along the Yamuna River, above the embankment road, is to improve connectivity between the twin industrial cities of Noida and Greater Noida.
Traffic Alleviation Strategy
In addition to relieving traffic on the current Noida-Greater Noida Motorway, the new road will effectively link Noida and Jewar Airport. According to authority officials, the state intends to build the road all the way to the newly constructed Noida international airport, which is scheduled to open for business by the end of 2024. In a meeting held in Delhi on Wednesday to expedite work on this project, the authority officials talked about the project details with the irrigation department of Uttar Pradesh and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
Smooth Rides Ahead
“We have decided to build this elevated road to offer a smooth ride to thousands of commuters travelling between Noida and Greater Noida. This project will also offer seamless commute to Delhi commuters towards Greater Noida because we are also building a 5.96km elevated road from Delhi’s Mayur Vihar to Mahamaya Flyover, which will be connected to this new 35km elevated road. We have held talks with NHAI and the Uttar Pradesh irrigation department that owns the Yamuna embankment road,” said Lokesh M, chief executive officer, Noida authority.
Strategic Decision-Making
The authorities first considered constructing an elevated over the Noida-Greater Noida Motorway, but they ultimately decided against it in favour of building the 35-kilometer elevated road alongside the Yamuna. “This elevated road will strat from Kalindi Kunj Barrage and end near Noida’s Sector 150. This will be later extended towards Noida airport in Jewar and also seamlessly connected with Greater Noida’s Pari Chowk traffic intersection. It will be connected to Delhi via the 5.96km elevated road for smooth traffic,” said Lokesh M.
Consultancy Considerations
In the past, the authority considered hiring RITES, a branch of the central government, as a consultant to create the project and write the comprehensive project report. “But we have decided to enlist NHAI to build this road. The NHAI will prepare the detailed project report and then build this important project. We are seeking required approvals from the irrigation department as it owns the land on which this road will be built,” said Lokesh M.
Strategic Location Scouting
To determine the location of the new elevated road, teams from the irrigation department and the NHAI have already inspected the property. “We, along with the engineering staff, conducted a site inspection of Yamuna embankment road and found that this link will resolve all traffic congestion issues that commuters face on Noida Expressway,” said Lokesh M. In order to provide a smooth ride for commuters travelling between Delhi and Agra via the Yamuna Motorway, this elevated road will further connect with the Yamuna Motorway close to the Pari Chowk intersection in Greater Noida.
