Noida Airport To Ganga Expressway Link Road Update: The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has granted approval for a 120-metre wide and 74.3-kilometre-long expressway alignment that will join Noida International Airport to the Ganga Expressway being built between Meerut and Prayagraj. The budget for the project is around Rs 4,000 crore and the land acquisition in this regard is likley to start soon. The new expressway will connect Noida airport to Bulandshahr city, Aurangabad, Siyana, Garhmukteshwar and other smaller pockets in Bulandshahr district.
The new expressway will begin from YEIDA’s Sector 21, where the international film city project is proposed, and end at the Ganga Expressway near Bulandshahr’s Siyana. It will touch Yamuna Expressway at Sector 21 and connect Ganga e-way at Siyana after passing through Bulandshahr’s urban area, towns including Aurangabad, and BB Nagar among others.
“We have given no objection certificate (NOC) to this new expressway project because we need to boost connectivity and connect Noida airport with all nearby areas. And in line with this concept this new e-way will directly and seamlessly connect not only the Yamuna Expressway but also the film city that is likely to witness construction work any time soon,” said YEIDA chief executive officer Arun Vir Singh, as quoted by a Hindustan Times report.
YEIDA has given the NOC to the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) that will build the new expressway. To build it, UPEIDA required NOC to start land acquisition for the e-way that will also pass through the Yamuna expressway authority’s many new developing areas including Sectors 28, 29, 32 and 33 among others, said officials, as per the report.
The link will require land from 54 villages falling in Bulandshahr district and the Gautam Budh Nagar district villages, with nine villages in GB Nagar and 45 others in neighbouring Bulandshahr district. This new E-way will touch Yamuna Expressway at 24.8 km point and merge with Ganga Expressway at 44.3 km milestone, as per officials.
“As this new expressway will be connected with Yamuna Expressway that is being connected with Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, then the Ganga Expressway will automatically enjoy seamless connectivity with Delhi-Mumbai Expressway too offering ease to the commuters,” said Singh.
