A new expressway is coming up soon to link the Noida airport with the Ganga Expressway. The alignment, according to India TV, is being discussed. According to the report, the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) and the Yamuna Authority (YEIDA) said they have already had two rounds of discussions regarding the alignment of the expressway.

Meanwhile, the UPEIDA and the YEIDA have unanimously agreed to link the expressway to the Yamuna Expressway near Film City. A final decision will be made regarding this by the UPEIDA CEO and Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh, along with Yamuna Authority CEO Dr Arunvir Singh.

The new expressway will enhance the connectivity of the Noida Airport, and it will also be connected to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway besides the Yamuna Expressway. According to several media reports, the work on the project is expected to be over by March. 

Earlier, the UPEIDA had prepared a proposal to link the expressway to connect the airport to the Ganga Expressway. Earlier, the plan was to connect it to the Yamuna Expressway. However, since the area is reserved for MRO, the authority, according to reports, urged the UPEIDA to change the alignment and suggested alternative options.

According to India TV quoting reports, the new link expressway will pass through 68 villages in Bulandshahr and Gautam Buddha Nagar, including 17 villages in Gautam Buddha Nagar and three villages in New Noida. After it is open to the public, it will significantly enhance the airport’s accessibility. As the Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has approved the project, the work is expected to commence soon.
