Yamuna Express City to be extended

In planning the proposed Yamuna Express City, the Yamuna Expressway Development Authority has scrupulously avoided the mistakes committed during the planning of Noida and Greater Noida cities.
The master plan of Phase-I of the Yamuna Express City has been completed. In the first stage, the development work will start from Greater Noida to Javer. The master plan is being put up for approval in the board meeting scheduled for May. In the new city, all the roads between residential sectors will be 60 mt wide. The width of roads between Greater Noida sectors is 24 mt only.
There are a total of 23 residential and 15 industrial sectors in the proposed city. Land has been reserved for commercial establishments within the residential and industrial sectors. A 120 mt highway is planned linking Palwal in Haryana and Khurja in Bulandshahr district. Land for a rail corridor along the highway has also been reserved. The proposed Ganga Expressway from Greater Noida to Baliya and the peripheral highway of Delhi NCR will also be linked with the city.
The Yamuna Expressway Authority has reserved 10,000 hectares of land for an international airport in Javer. Special provision has been made for green belt in the city. A link road is planned to be built around the city in Phase-I. Twenty-three per cent of total land has been earmarked for developing a green belt.
The master plan has been prepared extending over 584 sq km area of Bulandshahr and Javer. The development of Phase-I will be completed by 2031. The second stage master plan will cover area from Javer to Agra, it is learnt.
