To ease chronic traffic congestion in the National Capital Region (NCR), the Greater Noida Authority has unveiled plans for a four-km six-lane elevated road. This will connect Ek Murti Chowk in Greater Noida West to NH-9 via Shahberi and Crossings Republik, linking seamlessly to the Delhi–Meerut Expressway (DME).

This key arterial road aims to resolve daily bottlenecks on the eight km stretch crowded with residential high-rises and provide improved access to Noida International Airport, which is slated to open later this year. The project, estimated at Rs 400 crore, was approved by the Greater Noida Authority board in March.

A detailed project report (DPR) is being prepared and is expected within the next four to five months. The authority has approached NHAI for project execution, while exploring funding collaboration with Noida Authority and YEIDA, although the latter may be hesitant due to jurisdictional limitations.

Quoting Ravi Kumar NG, CEO of Greater Noida Authority: “The elevated road will significantly ease congestion and benefit commuters between Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Noida, and the upcoming airport in Jewar.”
