Greater Noida - Ghaziabad link


Work on completing the 22 km link road between Greater Noida’s Zeta sector and NH 24 is likely to start next week as Greater Noida Authority (GNA) and Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) claim to have cleared the remaining encroachments on the way. A 1.5 km portion of the alignment has been pending for almost nine years now due to various reasons.
GDA said it would relocate the 50-odd farmer families who have their residential plots on the road alignment to land provided by GNA in Chipiyana village, Greater Noida, in the next 10 days. GNA had allotted 7.71 acres to GDA in July for rehabilitating the affected families.
The 130m wide signal-free road, when completed, will cut down travel time between Greater Noida and Ghaziabad to just 20 minutes. The road begins at the New Holland factory in Greater Noida and meets NH 24 at the Vijay Nagar bypass in Ghaziabad. It will be extended later to the Meerut highway.
