An upcoming six-lane elevated road between the Rajnigandha Underpass and Sector 60 in Noida is expected to cut travel time from Delhi's DND side to Noida Sector 60 to just 10 minutes, down from the current 30 minutes during peak traffic. The signal-free corridor, costing around Rs 700 crore, will span about 6 km and pass through Sector 3, Sector 10, the Sector 12-22 T-point and Sector 57 before ending at Sector 60, where it will connect with Master Plan Road-2.
The Noida Authority approved the revised alignment of the route in July this year, which extended the road by about 1.5 km from the earlier plan. However, construction has not yet begun. IIT Roorkee is currently preparing the Detailed Project Report (DPR). No official timeline has been announced for the start of construction or the opening of the road.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Noida Authority, which manages urban development in the area, typically funds such projects through a mix of its own revenue and loans. The proposed road targets one of the most congested commuter corridors in the Delhi-NCR region: the DND Flyway carries over 1.5 lakh vehicles daily. A similar elevated corridor, the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, reduced travel time between those cities from over an hour to about 25 minutes after its 2002 opening. The DPR from IIT Roorkee will determine the final cost, design and land acquisition needs before tenders can be issued. The next milestone is the DPR submission.
