UP Fast-Tracks Roads to Boost Noida Airport Access

16 May 2025 CW Team

A flagship initiative under this effort is the six-lane Bhangel Elevated Road—a 5.5-kilometre corridor connecting Agahpur to the NSEZ via DSC Road. Despite earlier delays caused by design revisions and funding shortfalls, authorities now expect completion by July 2025. The project's cost has risen from Rs 4.68 billion to Rs 6.08 billion. Once operational, the road will ease congestion in densely populated areas and streamline traffic between Noida and Greater Noida, a key approach to Jewar Airport.

Another vital link is the DND–Faridabad–Ballabhgarh Bypass Road, envisaged as a connector between the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway and the airport. The state has sanctioned an additional Rs 486 million for the corridor, supplementing Rs 2.6 billion already released for land compensation. Acquisition across nearly 67 hectares has been completed, paving the way for accelerated development.

Additionally, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has been cleared to construct an 8.5-kilometre elevated stretch along the 22-kilometre Greenfield Expressway linking Faridabad and Jewar. The project falls under the Bharatmala Pariyojana and is designed to improve trade corridors and economic linkages between Uttar Pradesh and Haryana while ensuring efficient airport access.

To further bolster multi-directional connectivity, the state government has earmarked Rs 10 billion for a 76-kilometre expressway connecting Jewar Airport to the Ganga Expressway. Starting from Bulandshahr, the new corridor will intersect with the Yamuna Expressway and provide smoother access for commuters from Meerut, Bulandshahr, and the broader Purvanchal and Bundelkhand regions.

Urban planners emphasise that such mega infrastructure must prioritise long-term sustainability. Integrating multimodal transport, minimising emissions, and ensuring ecological safeguards are essential in aligning airport-led development with green urban principles.

While large-scale urban projects can risk marginalising vulnerable communities, the current focus on regional expressways offers an opportunity to craft an inclusive and climate-resilient mobility network. As the Noida International Airport nears completion, ensuring these road projects adhere to principles of equitable access and environmental responsibility will be key to maximising long-term regional and national benefit.

The Uttar Pradesh government is expediting a network of road and expressway projects to strengthen connectivity to Noida International Airport, aiming to establish it as a key aviation hub in northern India. With projected annual footfall exceeding five million passengers, seamless road access is essential to ensure efficient, sustainable, and inclusive transport infrastructure.A flagship initiative under this effort is the six-lane Bhangel Elevated Road—a 5.5-kilometre corridor connecting Agahpur to the NSEZ via DSC Road.
