Noida-G Noida e-way revamp on cards to streamline traffic flow

The Noida authority has decided to revamp the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, which witnesses traffic congestion daily, particularly during peak hours, and is accident-prone in places owing to a lack of signboards and requisite markers, said officials in the know of the matter on Wednesday.

The authority had earlier hired the Regional Centre for Urban and Environmental Studies (RCUES) to conduct a survey of the expressway and it suggested multiple measures to streamline traffic and also reduce congestion. The authority is now likely to issue a fresh tender to select an expert agency that will carry out the modifications suggested in the survey.

"We will take multiple measures as suggested in the survey with an aim to improve traffic flow and ensure the safety of motorists on the 25km Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. These changes will include introducing proper markings and signage to clearly indicate entry and exit points for various sectors, besides addressing current challenges caused by inadequate lighting and lack of signage," said Lokesh M, chief executive officer, Noida authority.

The Noida-Greater Noida Expressway is a key road in the city connecting dozens of areas of Noida and Greater Noida besides accommodating millions of long-distance travellers.
