LDA Begins Work on 188-Acre Central Park and Golf Course in IT City

The Noida Authority has announced plans to construct a 400-metre-long circular skywalk at the busy Sector-62/63 intersection, near the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, at an estimated cost of Rs 400 million. This initiative aims to provide a safe crossing for approximately 50,000 pedestrians each day and to ease traffic congestion in the area.

Designed to ensure the safety of pedestrians and improve vehicular movement, the skywalk will feature a circular structure with an iron roof for protection against heat and rain. Escalators and lifts will be installed on both ends to enhance accessibility, particularly for senior citizens, women, and persons with disabilities.

The new skywalk will be integrated with the existing foot overbridge on the highway, allowing pedestrians from Ghaziabad to cross over into Noida without navigating through traffic. Initially, a simpler foot overbridge was proposed; however, a recent survey revealed that such a structure would not effectively meet the area’s needs.

Officials stated that a detailed project report (DPR) has already been prepared and has received in-principle approval. The design is now set to be reviewed by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) before construction commences.

Survey data indicates that around 50,000 people use this intersection daily, primarily bus and auto-rickshaw passengers travelling from Delhi, Meerut, Ghaziabad, and Noida. Their unregulated movement has often disrupted traffic flow. The skywalk is expected to provide a secure and organised route for pedestrians approaching from all directions.

This project is part of a broader infrastructure initiative by the Noida Authority, which includes the development of a 3.5-km model road from Sector-62 to Mamura. This corridor sees heavy footfall due to the presence of office complexes, metro stations, and residential societies, and frequently experiences traffic congestion during peak hours.

Additional enhancements under the project include road widening, construction of footpaths, development of parking areas, and redesign of U-turn points. The authority has also planned improvements for three U-turns from NH-9 to Mamura Chowk, which currently contribute to traffic slowdowns.

To tackle the problem of traffic jams caused by unregulated three-wheelers, a new auto-rickshaw stand will be set up at the NH-9 entry point. The tender for the corridor development has already been floated, with several agencies reportedly showing interest in the project.
