As it gears up to hand over the Noida International Airport site to the concessionaire, YEIDA is going all out to create infrastructure to ensure seamless connectivity in the region. On the cards is the development of a 60m-wide road to connect Greater Noida with the airport site. The Yamuna Expressway Authority, which had earlier built a 30m-wide stretch along the expressway, has already floated multiple tenders to start work on the road that will run parallel to the Yamuna Expressway between Greater Noida and Rabupura. However, YEIDA has to acquire land from local farmers for this road. “We have floated tenders for the construction of the 60m-wide road. This 4.1km-long road will act as a vital link for upcoming industrial clusters in sectors 21, 28 and 29. A lot of commuters will use the stretch in the coming years once these clusters are functional,” said YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh. It has set aside about Rs 6 crore to construct the road and is acquiring land chunks from the local villagers. The Yamuna Expressway will be used for long-distance commuting and those coming to the YEIDA city. But internal movement will happen through the 60m-wide road. In the past, the Authority had constructed the main carriageway that extends up to 30km along the Yamuna Expressway. However, the road ends at Rabupura and further connection to the airport site is needed. The said 4.1km-long stretch will provide further connectivity and will also act as the primary route for YEIDA’s big-ticket projects such as Film City, Medicinal Device Park, MSME, Handicraft, Apparel and Toy Park. It will also act as the link to the airport site from Yamuna Expressway via the interchange. YEIDA is trying to acquire land from the villagers to commence work on the interchange and loops. The concessionaire has asked Authority officials to get the road ready before it commences work since a wide road would be required during the construction work.
