Filling up this 3km gap will give Noida its second road to Jewar
To that end, the Authority has decided to link its 130-metre wide road with Yamuna Authority's 120-metre wide road.
Once ready, the link road could ease pressure on Yamuna Expressway by rerouting traffic for Greater Noida, Greater Noida West and Ghaziabad through this stretch.

Currently, the 130-metre road runs from Char Murti Chowk in Greater Noida West to Sirsa village, covering nearly 30km. However, a 3km patch is incomplete to connect the 120-metre road of Yamuna Authority, which connects to Jewar.
The road sees heavy vehicular movement daily and with the expected rise in traffic — once the airport becomes operational — the authority is also undertaking widening work along this route.
On Monday, Greater Noida Authority's additional CEO Sumit Yadav, along with other officials from the project department, carried out a site inspection of the 130-metre road.
Yadav said, "Once the two roads are connected, it is expected to ease travel for residents of Greater Noida West, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad to the greenfield airport in Jewar.

The authority also plans to construct an underpass near Sirsa village to cross the Eastern Peripheral Expressway as part of the proposed connectivity."
The proposed connection between the two roads is crucial for establishing a direct, high-capacity link to the upcoming airport.
At present, the absence of a seamless corridor forces commuters to take longer, congested routes, particularly those travelling from Greater Noida West and Ghaziabad.
With the airport expected to become a major regional transit hub, this linkage will not only reduce travel time but also support planned urban and industrial expansion along the corridor.
Abhishek Kumar, a resident of Greater Noida West, said the population of Greater Noida West has increased to about 5 lakh. "It will be a good move if the two roads are connected to provide a seamless travel experience to the airport," he said.
The link road could not be developed earlier because Greater Noida Authority had not acquired land from farmers in the area.
An official said the surrounding region has gradually developed. "We completed the 30-km stretch, but a portion remained unfinished due to pending land acquisition. Now, with the Noida International Airport nearing completion, we will soon acquire the remaining land and complete the link road," the official added.
The road is strategically important as it lies near the Eastern Peripheral Expressway and connects key areas such as residential sectors Sigma III, IV, Omicron 1A, XU III and villages like Sirsa, Dadha and Khanpur. It also serves the nearby industrial zone of Ecotech 11.
Anand Bhati, a resident of Sirsa village, said the incomplete road has made navigation difficult. "Greater Noida Authority built the 130-metre road but stopped at Sirsa roundabout, just 500 m ahead of the EPE. Likewise, Yamuna Authority's 120-metre road ends in Rampur Majra village. The 3-km stretch in between remains unmotorable," he said.

Six-hour delay of SpiceJet's Pune-Jaipur flight frustrates passengers
(Pics mailed) Pune: More than six-hour delay and lack of updates from the airline's ground staff left close to 100 Jaipur-bound flyers of a SpiceJet flight frustrated on Thursday evening. The flight (SG-1080) was scheduled to take off from Pune at 7.30pm and land in Jaipur at 9.50pm. It finally departed at 1.40am on Friday.

We got another message around 4.30pm on Thursday, stating that it would fly at 9.30 pm. By then, I was on my way to the airport," a Nigdi resident booked on the flight said. She came to know during the check-in that her plane would fly at 12.30am. "The airline's employees did not give specific reasons. Some passengers had checked out of their hotels but ended up waiting at the airport for hours. Many flyers got angry and had arguments with the ground staffers," the passenger said. A video surfaced in which passengers accused the ground staff of spreading misinformation. There was haze on the status of the inbound plane from Goa, too. "We were told that the flight had taken off from Goa quite some time back, but when we checked, we found out it had taken off just 10 minutes ago. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo It seems that we made a mistake by choosing the airline for travel," another passenger said. A SpiceJet spokesperson told TOI, "The claim that passengers were informed about the revised departure time only after reaching the airport is factually incorrect. All passengers were duly informed of the schedule change well in advance via email and SMS at 2.30pm. The flight departed as per its revised timing. Additionally, dinner was served to all passengers at the airport.

On drawing board, new roads to bypass eway gridlocks, cut travel time from Gurgaon to Delhi
Gurgaon: If the govt has its way, a series of proposed road projects will help streamline commuting between Delhi and the city, reducing travel time for thousands of commuters. These projects include construction of a direct road from Gurgaon bus stand to Dwarka Expressway (Old Najafgarh Road) via CRPF Chowk, a stretch from Rajiv Chowk to Signature Towers via Baba Prakaspuri Chowk and Old Railway Road and an elevated road over Sirhaul border. City MLA Mukesh Sharma recently met Union road transport minister Nitin Gadkari, seeking support to construct these roads. "Presented three key demands to the union road transport minister, who took them seriously and immediately issued directives to the highways authorities," said Sharma. He also said the proposed direct road connectivity from Gurgaon bus stand to Dwarka Expressway via CRPF Chowk and Kamdhenu Gaushala would provide faster access to sectors 4, 5, Ashok Vihar and Palam Vihar among other residential areas. On June 3, MLA Sharma, accompanied by MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya and other officials, had conducted a site inspection to explore reconstruction possibilities. This new route is expected to alleviate congestion for daily commuters, facilitating smoother travel.

This stretch would connect busy market areas and major intersections, thereby reducing traffic strain on these zones. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Decongestion of Delhi-Gurgaon border at Sirhaul was also a topic of discussion as severe congestion is frequently reported at the city's entry point near Ambience Mall for traffic moving between Delhi and Gurgaon. To tackle this, the minister was requested to construct an elevated road by NHAI to ensure smooth traffic flow on NH-8. Sharma said Gadkari promptly issued directives to the departments. "Traffic snarls are a crucial aspect of urban development," he said. The Union road transport ministry has already announced it will explore the possibility of building an elevated road from Mahipalpur to Manesar as an upper deck of Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway after a meeting with Union minister Rao Inderjit Singh in 2022.
