Looks like this time authorities are serious and it will go ahead. Thanks to new UP government. After new government more traffic police are visible on NH 24 and traffic position has improved considerably. If these proposed underpasses gets constructed travel time to Delhi will get reduced by atleast by 15 min.
NOIDA: Nearly a week after Noida Authoritycompiled and sent a list of five infrastructure projects to the chief minister, includingdecongestion of NH-24, it has called for presentations from interested companies on possible ways to rid the Noida-Indirapuram stretch of traffic chaos. The stretch is a part of NH-24 which falls under the authority's jurisdiction.
.
The Authority has completed the survey on how to make the Noida-Indirapuram entry signal-free, wrapped up the process of inviting the Expression of Interest (EoI) for the project from interested parties and has asked all companies that applied for the EoI to make presentations on April 26.
Noida Authority, Greater Noida Authority and Ghaziabad Development Authority are working in tandem to to make the entire NH-24 signal-free. Under the project, seven underpasses will be constructed along the highway. Of these seven, Noida Authority will construct three underpasses on a six-km stretch along the highway that will in turn open towards Khoda colony, NIB Chowk and Model Town chowki. Two of these underpasses will also cloverleaves. Once the presentations are made, a detailed project report will be prepared.
Once constructed, the underpasses will provide great relief to commuters coming from Indirapuram, Vaishali and Vasundhara towards Noida. "The stretch between Lal Kuan and UP Gate along the NH-24 has become a nightmare for commuters. Similarly, in Noida, Model Town, NIB Chowki and Shipra, underpass remain clogged with traffic through the day. We want to ensure that vehicles going to Vaishali, Indirapuram and Vasundhara do not have to use the highway. The underpasses will facilitate just that," said a senior official.
The plan to decongest NH-24 has been delayed several times over the last five years. It was only recently that National Highway Authority of India decided to revive the project with some changes to minimize the traffic chaos on NH-24.
