G Noida: GT Road to be linked with Jewar airport
GREATER NOIDA: The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to build a 25km road in order to connect GT Road, also known as National Highway 91, with the proposed international airport at Jewar. The four-lane road will boost connectivity between Bulandshahr and Jewar, officials said, adding the GT Road passes through Dadri in Greater Noida.
The state government has directed the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) to work on multi-modal connectivity plan to connect the Jewar airport with rest of Delhi-NCR cities, including Bulandshahr, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Delhi, and Faridabad, said the officials. “To connect NH 91, also known as GT Road, with the Noida International Airport, the UP government has planned a 25-km road. The government has asked the National Highways
Authority of India (NHAI) to work on this new link that will boost connectivity between Khurja/Bulandshahr and Jewar. Now, the NHAI will prepare a project report and work on it,” said Arun Vir Singh, CEO, Yeida.
The Integrated Industrial Township Greater Noida Limited (IITGNL) has decided to build a four-lane 2.5km road and an underpass on NH-91 near Shiv Nadar University to connect the proposed logistics hub at Greater Noida’s Bodaki with the highway. An interchange is also planned at Dankaur village on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway and another at Sirsa village on the expressway over NH-91 and the Yamuna Expressway. “Greater Noida’s logistics hub, transport hub and Integrated Industrial Township will enjoy smooth connectivity with the airport as these projects are built,” said Narendra Bhooshan, CEO of IITGNL and Greater Noida Authority.
