In 2014, Noida Authority had started the development of a six-lane elevated road with a budget of Rs 435 crore. The project was to be completed within three years. It is now ready three months before the deadline.
Alok Sinha, chief secretary, industrial development and chairman of Noida Authority, said traffic monitoring would get easier, thanks to this stretch. He said, “I am sure this elevated road will help commuters reach their destination faster, without having to wait at traffic signals. We have more plans for effective monitoring of traffic in the city and that will be worked out later.”
There are nine traffic lights on the road above which the elevated stretch has come up.
Amit Mohan Prasad, CEO of Noida Authority, said, “Due to traffic congestion, vehicles move at a slow space and smoke emission from these vehicles contribute to increased pollution levels. The elevated road will also help reduce pollution in the city."
