Soon, elevated roads in Noida
The Noida Authority has planned to build the city's first-ever elevated roads after having learnt the hard way from its past experiences of massive traffic jams due to construction activities at the Rajnigandha crossing and Sector-37 traffic intersection.
The four-lane elevated roads will be erected on single pillars like those of the Delhi Metro. The consultant is learnt to have prepared three designs.
The authority will begin work on two elevated roads from Vishwabharti School in Sector-28 to Shopprix Mall in Sector-61 with a cloverleaf towards City Centre in Sector-32 and from Mamura Chowk in Sector-66 to Sector-62 near NH-24, linking Noida, Ghaziabad and Delhi. The construction will begin in May. In the second phase, elevated road will be built from Baraula in Sector-49 to Noida Phase-2.
According to deputy CEO of Noida, the idea is to ensure a hassle-free traffic movement during construction. The authority will soon zero in on one design, he added.
Slip roads would be constructed in advance. Three more elevated roads, besides underpasses and flyovers, have been planned, added the deputy CEO.
