Expressway Project: NHAI has approved a new expressway to ease the connectivity of Delhi and Haryana with the Noida Airport which will be opened next year. With the completion of the new expressway, the distance from Kalindi Kunj to Noida Airport can be covered in just 30 minutes.
Noida Airport: The journey from Delhi’s Kalindi Kunj to Noida Airport will be completed in just 30 minutes. Yes, this is going to be possible in the coming days. To ease the connectivity of Delhi and Haryana from Noida Airport, NHAI has agreed to build another expressway parallel to Noida-Greater Noida Expressway after the completion of the survey work. With its construction, the pressure of vehicles on Noida-Greater Noida Expressway will be reduced. With this, more than 10 lakh drivers will be able to reach their destination easily.
Journey to Lucknow will become easy
The length of the expressway will be 32 km, in which 28 km will be built in Noida area and 4 km will be built to link it with the airport. With its completion, drivers will be able to complete the journey to Lucknow without any interruption. NHAI has prepared a report by surveying other options including Pushta Road. According to the CEO of Noida Authority, after getting the consent of NHAI, now a company will be hired and its survey will be done again, so that the DPR can be prepared and the work can be started. Many cities of Delhi, Haryana and UP will directly benefit from the new expressway.
10 to 15 lakh vehicles pass through the Noida Expressway every day
Currently, about 10 to 15 lakh vehicles ply on the Noida Expressway every day. These vehicles are more than the capacity of the expressway, which is why a new expressway is being considered. There is a plan to connect the expressway to the Mumbai-Vadodara Expressway near Delhi Kalindi Kunj. With its construction, the traffic of Faridabad, Ballabhgarh in Haryana, Badarpur, Nehru Place in Delhi and Noida, which currently uses the expressway, will be able to come directly from Yamuna Expressway to Agra, Aligarh, Mathura, Noida Airport and Lucknow through the new expressway.
Estimated to cost Rs 2.5 thousand crores
This project will cost around Rs 2 to 2.5 thousand crores. Both the central and state governments will spend this money. At present, the authority is unable to spend such a huge amount on the project. The reason for this is that the authority has run out of sources of income. Let us tell you that passenger flights are expected to take off from Noida International Airport in April next year. A few days ago, the airport officials had informed that the length of the runway being built in the first phase is 3.9 km and the width is 60 meters.
