Noida: The Noida Authority CEO, Lokesh M, on Monday asked work circle 9 officials to expedite work on 45-metre and 30-metre-wide roads in the new sectors. The road construction and development work has been delayed due to land availability issues. The CEO asked the officials to resolve technical issues and construct the roads as a priority. The Authority CEO directed the officials to carry out beautification work on the circles connecting the service roads and the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. Drains along the 45-metre-wide road will be covered with cemented slabs, and wild growth will be removed, said the Authority CEO. Similar instructions were also given for roads in sectors 166, 167, and 164. The Authority head asked the officials to resume the maintenance work on footpaths and the work of laying interlocking tiles, which had stopped due to orders from the National Green Tribunal (NGT), owing to toxic pollution levels in the city.Apart from this, the senior official visited the road connecting Chhaprauli Bangar village and Dallupura, where he found that the stretch experiences heavy congestion. He instructed the work circle officials to conduct a survey and prepare a plan for road widening. He also ordered the widening of the underpass near Sultanpur village at the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway to ease the traffic movement.We also published the following articles recentlyNoida plans 28km road skirting e-way to link two airportsNoida Authority plans to construct a 28km road to ease travel on Noida Expressway.

The PMC has managed to secure only 1.60 lakh square metres of the required 2.88 lakh square metres of land. This has caused delays in the project, leading to traffic congestion on the stretch. The PMC is focusing on acquiring big land parcels and aims to complete the widening works by March next year. The state government has approved Rs 200 crore for the project, but more funds will be needed for the wider road.
