After Two Decades Of Delay, Haryana Clears Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad Expressway Project To Boost Delhi-NCR Connectivity

In a landmark move set to transform intercity travel in the National Capital Region (NCR), the Haryana government has finally approved the long-stalled Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad (FNG) Expressway, bringing to life a project first proposed nearly two decades ago by the Noida Authority.

The green signal from Haryana, confirmed by an Economic Times report on 22 March, marks a critical breakthrough in regional road infrastructure.

The expressway is set to bridge the long-standing connectivity gap between Faridabad and Uttar Pradesh. As it stands, commuters are compelled to use Delhi’s congested Kalindi Kunj route due to the lack of a direct link.

The FNG Expressway will not only address this critical shortcoming but also serve as the first direct corridor between Faridabad and Noida.

A key component of the project includes the construction of a 600-metre-long bridge over the Yamuna River near Lalpur village. The financial cost of the bridge will be shared equally between the Haryana and Uttar Pradesh governments.

Minister Vipul Goyal highlighted the strategic relevance of the project during Haryana’s budget discussions, noting that over 1 lakh individuals commute daily between Faridabad, Noida, and Ghaziabad.

The expressway is expected to ease traffic congestion, cut travel time, and stimulate economic activity in the surrounding districts.
