GREATER NOIDA: A six-lane arterial road connecting Noida, Greater Noida, Delhi and Ghaziabad, which had been delayed over the last four years as a result of a row on land acquisition, has now been opened to public. Intended to cut travel time between the four cities and provide a congestion-free ride to commuters, the road is 130 m wide and 28 km long.<\/p>\n
According to officials, the road, built at a cost of Rs 200 crore, is a part of the Greater Noida’s Master Plan-2021. So far it runs between Parthala Khanjarpur in Noida’s Sector 122 and Sirsa-Kasna in Greater Noida.<\/p>\n
In Greater Noida, it begins from Sector Zeta and runs till Vijaynagar in Ghaziabad, passing through Devla, Khodna, Khurd and Haibatpur in Greater Noida (West).<\/p>\n
Officials said it will cut down travel time between Greater Noida and Ghaziabad to 30 minutes. Until now, commuters used the Etaida-Chaproula route, which took close to two hours.<\/p>\n
“The distance will be reduced by nearly 10 km,” said a Noida authority official. The link road also provides a shorter route between Noida City Centre\/NH-24 and Greater Noida sectors (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Zeta, etc.), as well as Bodaki station, being developed as India’s largest railway terminal.<\/p>\n
As part of the master plan, this link road will eventually be stretched to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway near Sirsa to connect with Palwal on the KMP (Kundli-Manesar-Palwal) Expressway. The same 130-metre Expressway will also be merged with Yamuna Expressway, in case someone wants to go to Agra from Ghaziabad, and provide a link between Greater Noida and NH-24. It will also be an alternate route to the existing 24-km Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, officials said.<\/p>\n
In future, Yamuna Expressway Authority will extend this stretch by another 41 km from Greater Noida to Jewar. On its part, GNIDA is also planning a 100-metre-wide commercial belt on one of its sides, besides a dedicated 6-lane bus corridor.<\/p>\n
“We are also planning to put in place an alternate mode of transport, a Light Rapid Transit System (LRTS) like a mono rail, to connect the cities along the route. For this, we have kept provision for a 30-metre-wide central verge along the 130-metre link road,” the official said.<\/p>\n
“This central verge will house a green area and provide space for an alternate mode of transport in future,” he added. The road will also have seven-metre-wide service roads on each side of the dual carriageway. The main carriageway will measure 10.5 m on either side. A rotary has been built at every 1.5 km along the route to provide traffic with easy ingress and egress<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
