NOIDA: The Noida authority will undertake major road widening and infrastructure projects in Sector 62 and Sector 63/Chhijarsi village to improve pedestrian safety and ease traffic congestion, officials said on Sunday.

A key project involves widening the road in Sector 63 that runs along the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, extending up to the Chhijarsi intersection. The stretch will also be beautified as part of the plan. The authority has issued a tender worth ₹6.5 crore to engage a contractor for this work.

"This project is part of the authority's plan to develop a 3.5-kilometre-long model mobility corridor between Sector 62 roundabout and Mamura tri-section. The corridor aims to ease traffic bottlenecks in the area. A tender was issued earlier this year for road widening and improvement works, and four agencies have reportedly shown interest," said Vijay Rawal, general manager of the Noida authority.
