Noida to Open HQ and Bhangel Flyover in Two Months

13 May 2025 CW Team

“We have decided to open both projects within the next two months as they are now in the final stages. Staff have been instructed to accelerate the work to meet the revised timeline,” said Lokesh M, Chief Executive Officer of the Noida Authority.

The six-lane, 5.5-kilometre Bhangel Elevated Road has been constructed above the Dadri-Surajpur-Chhalera (DSC) road. Once operational, it will improve connectivity between Noida and Greater Noida, providing a direct link from Agahpur to the Noida Special Economic Zone (NSEZ) in Sector 82. The elevated corridor bypasses high-traffic areas such as Chhalera, Barola, and Bhangel markets, promising to reduce travel times for commuters.

Approved in 2013, the project was launched in June 2020 with an initial budget of Rs 4.68 billion. Due to structural changes and delays, the cost has risen to Rs 6.08 billion. Installation of nine 60-metre steel girders near Barola Crossing is expected to finish this week, followed by deck slab work over the next month. Traffic diversions were implemented last month to allow uninterrupted construction at Barola.

The project has missed several completion deadlines — originally December 2022, then December 2023, and later 31 December 2024 — largely due to a 90-metre bottleneck caused by two obstructing buildings requiring structural redesign.

Meanwhile, the Authority's new headquarters in Sector 96 is also nearing completion. Spread over six acres, the twin-tower complex was conceived in 2009 and construction began in 2015 with a budget of Rs 4.78 billion. However, following poor construction quality and a delay of over 450 days, the initial contractor was blacklisted in 2022. A new firm was hired after IIT Delhi’s 2023 structural audit identified flaws, including incorrect pillar placements. Corrective measures were undertaken, and the revised budget now stands at Rs 3.04 billion.

With both major developments now entering their final phase, the Authority aims to deliver long-pending civic upgrades to improve administrative efficiency and urban mobility in Noida.
