Talks Underway to Resolve Land Dispute near Manjhawali Bridge

30 Jan 2025 CW Team

The incomplete route currently poses significant challenges for drivers, particularly during the monsoon season when the partially developed road becomes slippery and hazardous, increasing the risk of accidents. Travellers have faced these difficulties for years while awaiting a permanent solution.

To facilitate the completion of the road, authorities have identified 40 farmers whose land is essential for the project. The district administration has allocated Rs 250 million for compensation, with payments set at Rs 3,720 per square metre. Efforts are underway to expedite the payout process, resolve legal hurdles, and initiate construction without further delays.

The bridge over the Yamuna River at Manjhawali, connecting Greater Noida to Haryana, has already been completed. However, the road leading to the bridge from Atta Gujran village remains unfinished due to on-going land disputes. The project requires 6.5 hectare of land, and once compensation matters are settled, construction is expected to begin immediately.

In a separate infrastructure initiative, the Faridabad-Jewar Expressway is set to enhance connectivity in the region. This project aims to establish a direct link between the rapidly developing Jewar Airport in Noida and surrounding areas, significantly improving the state's transportation network.

Currently, the 90-kilometer journey between Faridabad and Jewar takes up to three hours. Upon completion, the new expressway will shorten the distance to 31 kilometres, reducing travel time to just 15 minutes. This development is expected to provide a faster and more convenient route for residents and travellers, making the region more accessible and benefiting thousands of commuters.
