The Greater Noida Authority and Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) are assessing the feasibility of constructing a 3 km link road to directly connect Greater Noida with the upcoming Noida International Airport in Jewar, according to a Times of India report.
The project will connect Greater Noida’s 130 metre wide road, which runs from Char Murti Chowk to Sirsa village, with YEIDA’s 120 metre wide road at Rampur Majra.
The missing 3 km stretch, once completed, is expected to decongest the Yamuna Expressway by diverting airport-bound traffic from Greater Noida, Greater Noida West and Ghaziabad.
Once operational, the link is expected to ease pressure on the Yamuna Expressway by offering an alternative, high-capacity route to the airport.
“Once the two roads are connected, it is expected to ease travel for residents of Greater Noida West, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad to the greenfield airport in Jewar,” Sumit Yadav, Additional CEO of Greater Noida Authority was quoted as saying by ToI, following a site inspection on Monday (21 July).
The 130 metre wide road currently extends from Char Murti Chowk in Greater Noida West to Sirsa village over a 30 km stretch.
However, a crucial 3 km patch remains unfinished due to earlier land acquisition hurdles. Officials now confirm that the acquisition process will soon resume, as the surrounding region has developed significantly.
The plan also includes an underpass near Sirsa village to facilitate smooth passage under the Eastern Peripheral Expressway.
The strategic corridor will link residential sectors like Sigma III, IV, Omicron 1A, and industrial zones such as Ecotech 11, enhancing both urban and economic growth.
