The development of the Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad Expressway has resumed after being stopped for a while. Ultimately, it will allow for better connectivity and a speedier journey between these cities and other towns in the National Capital Region.
The Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad Expressway construction had been postponed for around three decades as a result of cost-sharing disagreements among agencies. It had been ongoing for many years. Currently, work is being done again, and it will likely take a few years until the motorway is fully functional.
Here’s All That You Need To Know About The Faridabad Noida Ghaziabad Expressway
The Length Of This Magnificent Stretch
The building of the 56-kilometre-long, six-lane highway will serve as a crucial link between Delhi, Faridabad, Noida, Greater Noida, Meerut, and Ghaziabad. It has been taken over by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).
The Noida-Greater Noida region has a 20 km part of the FNG motorway, while Ghaziabad has an 8 km stretch.
The Connectivity It Offers
Here’s a summary of the FNG Motoway’s route:
Noida
It will connect from the National Expressway 3 or the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, through Noida’s Sectors 121, 122, 140, and 150 to Sector 168, where it intersects with the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and crosses the Yamuna over Chak Mangroli.
Ghaziabad
It will connect to the Delhi-Meerut Expressway or National Expressway 3 from National Highway 34 (between Hindan Vihar and Arya Nagar).
Faridabad
It will connect to the Faridabad Bypass Expressway at Shahpur after travelling along the DFC corridor from the Chak Mangroli bridge.
The Effect On Travel Time
The working populace in the NCR regions would receive nothing less than a godsend from the FNG Expressway. It will significantly lessen traffic congestion on the routes linking Delhi to Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and Gurgaon, enabling individuals to commute from Faridabad to Ghaziabad in under 30 minutes. Given its size, it would also have a huge real estate influence on the neighbourhood. Let’s hope the project is completed quickly and without further setbacks.
The Status Of Development
The motorway will likely be fully operational in 2026, with the Noida side of the route scheduled to open in 14 months.
