Noida To Hire Agency To Beautify Noida Expressway

29 Jan 2025 CW Team

Currently, the Noida authority faces a challenge in keeping green spaces along 25km Noida-Greater Noida Expressway well maintained and aesthetically pleasing. Even so, the green belt, central verge and other green zones along the expressway are not properly maintained and leave a bad image of the city in the minds of visitors, said officials.

Poorly maintained central verges and greenery along the expressway also pose inconvenience to commuters whose view of the road is often hampered by overgrown branches and shrubs, said officials.

Authority officials said in the future, when the airport operations begin, it will result in an increase in traffic on the road and that will require better management of not only traffic but also the greenery.

The Noida authority will also install designer lamps and streetlights to illuminate the expressway in a manner so that it offers an altogether new look at night time. The Noida authority’s horticulture department do not have the staff strength or the experts needed to maintain the expressway in the proper manner. So officials have to depend upon a private agency for the job. Recently, Lokesh M conducted an inspection of the expressway and expressed unhappiness over the maintenance work and the state of green areas.

Once the expert agency is roped in, the authority’s chief executive officer will supervise the work instead of the horticulture department so that the quality of the work remains as per the expectations.

Apart from the horticulture work, the authority is also planning to construct two underpasses for offering ease to commuters who want to cross over from one side to the other without using the main carriageway, said officials.

The Noida authority said it has decided to hire an expert private agency beautify and improve the horticulture work on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, before the anticipated rise in traffic volume once the Noida international airport in Jewar becomes operational by April 17, 2025.
