UP Approves 74.3 km Link Road to Noida Jewar Airport

06 Mar 2026 CW Team

The alignment will start at the Ganga Expressway near Bulandshahr and terminate at the Yamuna Expressway near Sector 21 Film City, providing a direct route that avoids city congestion. The corridor is expected to benefit passengers from Hapur, Meerut and Agra by removing detours and easing access to the airport. By linking two major expressways, the road seeks to create a coherent transit loop that strengthens logistics connectivity for the region.

The scheme includes a nine-kilometre elevated section designed to skirt densely populated areas and minimise disruption to local traffic. The route will directly serve industrial pockets designated as sectors 28, 29, 32 and 33 and is intended to facilitate freight movement as well as passenger travel. Project planners anticipate that the road will position Jewar as an important logistics and aviation support hub.

The land acquisition budget of Rs 12.04 billion (bn) was approved in February 2026 and the estimated total project cost is Rs 40 bn. The link spans 56 villages, including eight in Gautam Buddh Nagar and 48 in Bulandshahr, and is being promoted as a public infrastructure investment to unlock economic opportunity. Authorities indicate that the alignment and its elevated portions are intended to balance connectivity gains with minimised social displacement.

Local real estate markets are expected to respond to improved airport access with heightened investor interest in Tappal, Jewar and Greater Noida West. Developers are planning new residential offerings aimed at staff and residents, with demand noted for both smaller plots and high-rise apartment options along the Yamuna Expressway. Market observers suggest the enhanced connectivity will lift rental yields and resale values in adjacent localities.

Uttar Pradesh has approved the construction of a 74.3-kilometre link road to connect the Ganga and Yamuna Expressways with the Noida International Airport at Jewar. The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority will manage the corridor that is intended to streamline movement between Agra, Greater Noida and Jewar. The project is presented as a strategic infrastructure step to reduce travel time and support regional economic growth.
