Noida’s first signature bridge to open soon

10 May 2023 CW Team

The trademark bridge at Parthala Chowk is anticipated to open to the public shortly, which is fantastic news for commuters heading to Greater Noida from Noida, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad. As the flyover would relieve the massive traffic congestion at Parthala Chowk, where it now takes more than 40 minutes to get through the small choke point, this is thought to be an important infra development in the city.

Ritu Maheswari, the chief executive officer of the Noida Authority, stated that the projects are almost finished and urged officials to "open the flyover as soon as possible."

After her discussion with higher officials, she declared, "I have instructed officials to open the Parthala flyover as soon as possible, expedite the Bhangel elevated road project, and develop new industrial areas."

This bridge, Noida's first distinctive structure, will include 28 suspension cables. Nearly 95% of the work has been finished.

By the end of May, hopefully, the flyover will be operational, making it easier for traffic to ascend and descend to Sector-71 and Greno West. Commuters heading in the direction of Sectors 51, 52, 61, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 121, 122, and Kisan Chowk would profit from it.

Additionally, vehicles can travel directly from Ghaziabad, Hapur-Meerut, Noida, and Greater Noida West to Kalindi Kunj and DND without stopping. Additionally, all current traffic detours at Parthala will be eliminated.
