New Elevated Road to Ease Traffic Between Greater Noida West and Ghaziabad
A 16-meter wide elevated road will soon be constructed on Shahberry Road, connecting Greater Noida West to Ghaziabad. This decision comes in light of anticipated future traffic pressure, with approvals from the Greater Noida Authority and the Central Road Research Institute (CRRI).
The construction will begin approximately 100 meters from the Itada Golchakkar, crossing over a culvert that links Greno West to Crossing Republic. Importantly, the project is designed to ensure that local houses will not be affected during the construction process.
Feasibility Report in the Works
In the coming week, the CRRI will prepare a detailed feasibility report, which will be submitted to the Greater Noida Authority. This report will include any necessary amendments and improvements before creating a detailed project report (DPR).
Traffic Situation on Shahberry Road
Shahberry Road currently serves around 15,000 vehicles daily, leading to significant congestion, especially during the morning and evening rush hours. With around 150 societies and more than 100 villages in Greater Noida West, as well as nearby residential sectors in Noida, many commuters rely on this route to access Crossing Republic in Ghaziabad.
The road has been a site of frequent traffic jams, stretching about one and a half kilometers. Despite the installation of a divider, the congestion persists, often causing delays of up to 40 minutes for drivers.
CRRI’s Design Proposals
CRRI officials have recently inspected the area and proposed two designs for the elevated road, both measuring approximately 3,500 meters in length and 14 to 16 meters in width. The Greater Noida Authority believes that increasing the road’s width to 16 meters will help accommodate the expected rise in traffic.
The elevated road aims to provide a lasting solution to the ongoing traffic issues without disturbing the residential and commercial properties along Shahberry Road. The feasibility report from the CRRI will be crucial for moving forward with the project, which aims to improve daily commutes for thousands of residents.
