GDA starts widening 3km RNE stretch to unclog housing hub
Ghaziabad: Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has started revamp work on a 2.7km stretch in Raj Nagar Extension.
The township, developed in the early 2000s, has grown exponentially in-terms of population over the last couple decades, but the infrastructure has come under strain.
The road connects Delhi-Meerut Road through GT Road via Hindon Elevated Road. Under this project, the stretch will be widened to 24m from its current width of 6m.
"This will give much-needed relief to end congestion in the township. The total station survey was conducted by GDA's land acquisition and engineering department, who estimated the cost of construction to be Rs 31 crore. Land will also be acquired, which the development authority will directly acquire from owners at a mutually agreed rate," said GDA official Rudresh Shukla.
Vehicles travelling from Delhi and Noida that enter Ghaziabad through Muradnagar and Modinagar travel through the stretch to reach the Hindon civil terminal and the elevated road.
"The stretch, once developed, will also be connected to the outer ring road, which on one side will connect the proposed Harnandipuram township and the Hindon elevated road on the other side," Shukla said.
Last month, GDA set in motion another plan to connect RNE with Noornagar in two phases.
In the first phase, a 750m long and 18m wide stretch will be constructed while the second phase involves the construction of a 350m long and 24m wide stretch.
The second stretch will be abutting the embankment along the Hindon river.
As per estimates, Rs 32 crore will be spent on acquiring land from the farmers, and an additional Rs 10 crore will be needed for the construction of the road.
Additionally, as part of measures to decongest the RNE roundabout, the UP Bridge Corporation had constructed a flyover in the area in 2019.
The 586m long and 11m wide flyover provided some respite to commuters, but since 2019, the population influx necessitated the need for a bypass.
Officials have said that the 6km bypass set to come up here will become operational in six months' time.
