Haryana and UP govt to equally divide cost of link road construction

Haryana and Uttar Pradesh governments agreed to divide the cost of building a spur route equally to adjoin the airport site in Jewar with the Delhi-Mumbai expressway.

It was challenging to arrive at the cost-sharing decision earlier because a significant portion of the link road fell under Haryana. However, the UP government agreed to share half of the total cost of the project. This road is essential to increase connectivity in the Yamuna Expressway region.

Besides catering to the flyers from Haryana, direct connectivity using a network of expressways-highways would also simulate the logistics business in the region.

A senior officer from the industries department told the media that they have to think about the overall development of the Ghaziabad-Noida-Dadri industrial corridor investment region as having a direct link to the Delhi-Mumbai expressway will be beneficial in the long term.

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) awarded the task of checking the feasibility of building the spur route earlier to RITES.

YEIDA officials solemnly considered two options after analysing the study report RITES has prepared. Linking the airport site in Jewar and Yamuna Expressway to Ballabgarh in Faridabad was the first option. Providing an interchange somewhere close to the alignment of the Delhi-Mumbai expressway and Western Peripheral expressway was the second option.

RITES gave the second option to cater to the greater population, service providers and business operators active in Sohna, Palwal, Manesar and Nuh in Haryana.

A source told the media that the government of Uttar Pradesh has committed to share half of the project's cost and will be reaching out to the National Highways Authority of India's special purpose vehicle that is implementing the Delhi-Mumbai expressway project to take things forward.

Out of the total 31 km, around 7.5 km of spur route falls under Uttar Pradesh, while the remaining 23.5 km falls under Haryana on the other side of Yamuna.

A bridge will be built over the river, and YEIDA will obtain the land needed for the project.
