If things go well, commuters of Delhi-NCR will get another route between Noida and Greater Noida as 11.2-km four-lane road, proposed between both cities, is going to be operational by mid-June. The road is being constructed along with the periphery of Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. It will not only provide alternate to expressway but will connect Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad and key road between Noida and Delhi also.
The road, which is being built by UP Irrigation Department at a cost of Rs135 crore, was announced in 2011 and construction work was also started in the same year. The carriageway will be 30-metre wide with two lanes on both sides. According to officials of the UP Irrigation Department, the road will connect Okhla Barrage in Kalindi Kunj with the Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad (FNG) expressway in Noida Sector 150. Around 20 minor roads will connect Sectors 94, 95, 124, 125, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 134 and 168 along the expressway. A loop is also being built to connect it with expressway via an underpass in Sector 135.
