The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has planned a cloverleaf interchange near Jaganpur-Afzalpur to boost connectivity between Kundli, Ghaziabad and Palwal along Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) and the upcoming airport in Jewar in Uttar Pradesh.
The tender for the Rs 84 crore project was floated by YEIDA on 30 May 2019, and will be awarded in August 2019. After that, it will take 18 months to complete the project.
The period of date of sale is from 14 June 2019 to 13 July 2019, and the final awarding of tender is likely to be in August 2019. Once completed, the interchange will also reduce the travel time of 60-70 minutes for those travelling from Faridabad, Palwal, Sonepat and Panipat.
The total area on which the interchange will be built is 57.1 ha--given to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which will fund the project and has made the design layout. IIT-Delhi will study the design and give a final approval before work starts. The project will be implemented on an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis.
