Noida Airport: A big news is coming regarding Noida International Airport, the largest airport of Uttar Pradesh. In fact, work on the plan to connect the airport to UP's longest expressway, Ganga Expressway, has started at a rapid pace.

According to the information, the route design of the 74 km long proposed link expressway connecting Noida International Airport to Ganga Expressway is being prepared. In this regard, Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) and Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) held a meeting on Thursday and discussed the outline of the 20 km long section of the project. This part will pass through the jurisdiction of YEIDA. Officials said that its detailed design process has started.

If reports are to be believed, the new Greenfield Link Expressway proposed in Noida will be about 120 meters wide. It will start from near Film City located on the 24th KM of Yamuna Expressway. This link expressway will reach the 44.3 kilometer point of Ganga Expressway near Syana in Bulandshahr district. The objective of this project is to directly connect the districts of western Uttar Pradesh like Meerut, Bulandshahr, Khurja and Sayana to Jewar Airport.
