13 Mar 2023 CW Team

The draft for building Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad (FNG) expressway has been created by the Haryana government. Travellers from Faridabad to Ghaziabad and Noida will feel a great deal of relief as a result of this proposition. After the government’s approval of initiatives to improve connection between Noida, Faridabad, and Gurgaon, this project took shape. Following the government's approval of this revised plan, the DPR and tendering processes will start. From Faridabad, one may go through Noida and Greater Noida to get to Ghaziabad in just 30 minutes.

This planned motorway will be 56 kilometres long. The officials of Noida and Faridabad have already decided to complete a crucial bridge that will enhance connection between the two towns. The traffic on Delhi's roads that link Noida and Faridabad would be lessened thanks to this expressway.

In addition to 8 km in Noida and 20 km in Greater Noida, FNG will have 28.1 km in Faridabad. The master plan specifies that it will start on the Noida side. The Noida side's construction work is currently 70% complete. There is further work to be done on the Ghaziabad and Faridabad sides. It will begin at Ma Amrita Hospital in Greater Faridabad. It will approach from the village of Lalpur.

Noida and Faridabad will be connected by a 700-meter bridge. Sectors 98 and 143 in Noida would serve as the starting points for a 5.6 km elevated road. Also being created is a service road. The traffic on the routes leading to Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and Gurgaon would be reduced by this expressway. Also, this road will ensure that it takes just 20 minutes to get from Faridabad to Noida.
