YEIDA plans six lanes road connecting Yamuna e-way

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) has decided to build a six-lane road directly connectivity Yamuna Expressway and the upcoming international airport at Jewar. It will also construct a six lanes loop so that commuters can easily exit from the expressway to the airport site, said official sources, elaborating that the authority issued a tender to hire a contractor for constructing the 760-metrelong road and the loop and that the Yeida has already sanctioned ₹74 crore for the two projects. The development comes 10 days after Zurich Airport International AG, which had won the contract for construction and operation of the Noida International Greenfield Airport project last year, got the security clearance from the Union home ministry to develop the mega project. The contractor will be selected in a month, and it will take three months to build this road. In fact, the authority is keen to build this road well before the Swiss company Zurich International AG begins developmental work on the project, said chief executive officer of Yeida and Noida International Airport Limited, Arun Vir Singh. The Zurich International will start development work at the airport site shortly and in this connection, top brass of Zurich is travelling to Greater Noida to sign an agreement to start work at the site as and when the international flight operations start in India.
