Greater Noida plans 4km elevated road to DME
Noida: Greater Noida Authority has unveiled its plans for a 4km elevated road linking Ek Murti Chowk in Greater Noida West with NH-9 via Shahberi and Crossings Republik, for seamless connectivity between Greater Noida, Greater Noida West, Ghaziabad and Delhi via the Delhi-Meerut Expressway.
The 8km stretch, which is dotted by condominiums, turns into a daily gridlock, one extending till the DME, with hundreds of vehicles commuting between the NCR cities.
The snarls are only expected to worsen on the key link road once Noida International Airport becomes operational later this year.
Earlier this month, Greater Noida Authority widened a three-kilometre stretch between Iteda roundabout and Crossings Republik via Shahberi to ease congestion in the area.
An underpass is also under construction on the Taj Expressway near Gaur Chowk in the area.
Greater Noida Authority board that approved the Rs 400-crore elevated road project in March has approached NHAI for executing the project and allocated funds for the detailed project report that is expected to take another 4-5 months.
The road is proposed to have six lanes and start from Ek Murti roundabout in Greater Noida West's Sector 4 on the 130-metre-wide road, cross Shahberi and Ghaziabad's Crossings Republik, and connect with the Delhi-Meerut Expressway and NH-9.

"Greater Noida West and Crossings Republik in Ghaziabad are hubs of high-rise apartments, but poor connectivity between the two cities causes daily traffic jams on this stretch. Traffic is expected to worsen as more people move into new housing projects. The elevated road is expected to benefit commuters travelling to and from Greater Noida, and also those commuting to Noida airport in Jewar," Greater Noida CEO Ravi Kumar NG.
According to an estimate, the population in the area will reach 15 to 20 lakhs in the next 10 years.
The board has classified it as a regional connectivity road and proposed a funding collaboration between GNIDA, Noida Authority, and YEIDA.
Sources, however, told TOI that Noida and Yamuna Authority could be reluctant to finance a project within GNIDA's jurisdiction.
The elevated road is one of the many connectivity projects in the region, like Noida expressway bypass and Chilla Elevated Road, which are on the drawing boards, anticipating heavy traffic movement once the Noida airport becomes functional.

Strict action will be taken against projects lacking proper permissions, says HYDRAA chief
Hyderabad: At the Times Home Hunt Property Expo held recently, Hyderabad Disaster Management and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) commissioner A V Ranganath cautioned that any new projects lacking proper permissions or built on encroached land will face strict action. 'Only layouts approved before HYDRAA's formation on July 19 last year will be exempt. All others must comply with current regulations,' said Ranganath, noting that unchecked construction contributed significantly to urban issues like flooding and traffic congestion. HYDRAA was set up not just as a watchdog, he said, but also as a proactive body aimed at promoting sustainable and responsible urban development. 'HYDRAA is not just about demolitions. We are focused on creating a healthier, more environmentally conscious real estate ecosystem,' Ranganath added. The authority is working closely with other agencies to rejuvenate lakes, address urban flooding, and improve drainage infrastructure. He also pointed out that traffic congestion alone costs the state nearly Rs 300 crore in infrastructure loss, underscoring the need for better planning. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'We received criticism that HYDRAA slowed real estate activity, but there were geopolitical concerns, delays in RERA clearances, and approval bottlenecks at GHMC and HMDA—also played a role. If a project is legally approved, we won't interfere. Our aim is to ensure compliance and environmental responsibility,' he said.

JDA to construct 71 sector roads
Jaipur: With city roads deteriorating due to potholes, craters, and uneven surfaces, the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has decided to construct 71 sector roads under its annual road maintenance programme. Though these roads were part of the Master Plan 2025, the JDA had been unable to execute them earlier due to various delays. Now, a portion of the road maintenance fund will be allocated for their construction. "We have four categories of sector roads – A, B, C, and D. Out of 226 proposed A and B category roads in the Master Plan, 71 will now be developed. The civic body has already granted administrative and financial approval of Rs 454 crore for the project," a senior JDA official said. During the previous Congress govt, sector roads were prioritised by category, with 'A' being the most critical. A JDA engineer added that these 71 roads were selected based on future traffic needs and planned settlements along both sides. "Several rounds of discussions were held between zone deputy commissioners and zonal engineers to finalise the list of sector roads. We also considered the availability of land and the number of encroachments to be removed before selection. Hopefully, construction will proceed smoothly," said a JDA engineer. Officials confirmed that out of the 71 sector roads, six will be developed near Niwaru Road and Govindpura, 13 near Muralipura, nine in Mansarovar and Bhankrota, two near Delhi and Agra Roads, and 16 in the Vartika area. "Tenders have already been floated for some of them," an official added.
