Process to change land use for new Ghazipur toll starts

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has initiated the process to change the land use of a plot of land adjacent to the existing Ghazipur toll plaza on the Delhi-Meerut expressway, officials aware of the matter said.

Once this process is complete, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will use this land to develop a new five-lane toll plaza at the border.

Thousands of vehicles enter Delhi through the existing Ghazipur toll plaza every day, but the two-lane toll plaza is not equipped to handle a large traffic volume, and the spot often witnesses sprawling jams, especially during the morning and evening peak hours, and after 10pm, when trucks are allowed to enter the Capital. They said the five-lane toll plaza will help ease these traffic woes.
