What's happening
Construction of the Jewar Link Expressway is set to move forward after YEIDA signed a deal with Afcons Infrastructure for a contract valued near Rs 20.86 bn.
Afcons will build a 24.5-km stretch that falls inside YEIDA's jurisdiction, with work expected to wrap up in three years.
The details
Spanning 74.4 km in total, the expressway is a new, controlled-access road meant to join the Ganga Expressway at Bulandshahr with the Yamuna Expressway close to Film City, located in Sector 21 of YEIDA.
Starting near Siyana, the road will run toward the Yamuna Expressway, giving a straight path to Noida International Airport and surrounding industrial and residential zones. It is being built with six lanes, though its layout leaves room to widen to eight lanes later on.
Only the YEIDA portion falls under Afcons' contract; a separate firm will handle construction of the remaining stretch outside the authority's boundary, as reported by Live Hindustan.
Why it matters
YEIDA CEO R.K. Singh said land acquisition for the authority's share of the route is roughly 92 per cent done, with talks continuing with farmers over the rest and other options also being weighed.
Once the road is running, it could shorten travel between Noida, Greater Noida, Yamuna City and the airport, tying this developing urban-industrial belt more closely to both the Ganga and Yamuna expressway systems.
What's next
Afcons managing director S. Parmasivan indicated the firm is set to start building soon and aims to finish its part on schedule.
YEIDA intends to keep pursuing the outstanding land deals even as groundwork begins on the section already awarded.
