UP Plans Rs 900 Million Extensions to Hindon Elevated Road

17 Sep 2025 CW Team

The Uttar Pradesh state bridge corporation has prepared the detailed project report and cost estimates for two proposed extensions of the 10.3-km Hindon elevated road, officials said on Thursday. The road connects Raj Nagar Extension to UP-Gate near the east Delhi border, and the project is expected to cost around Rs 900 million.

The two extensions, each 400 metres long, will be added to the existing elevated road to ensure smoother traffic flow. “One of the extensions will be from near the Kanawani culvert (near Indirapuram) to the elevated road for commuters heading towards Delhi. The other will descend from the elevated road to the Vasundhara side. These extensions will ensure smooth merging of traffic,” said Rajneesh Yadav, project manager at the bridge corporation.

Each extension will be two-laned.

Currently, the elevated road has a down ramp near the Kanawani culvert, used by commuters from Raj Nagar Extension heading towards CISF Road and National Highway – 9. The ramp-up on the opposite side facilitates traffic from Vasundhara towards Raj Nagar Extension.

“Since commuters from Indirapuram lacked access to the elevated road towards UP-Gate, a new extension is proposed. Similarly, the other extension will allow commuters from UP-Gate to descend at Vasundhara. The project also includes a proper roundabout to ensure smooth traffic movement when commuters ascend and descend,” Yadav added.

Officials from UP Avas Vikas stated that the project will be handled by the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA).

“We have requested funds for the project from the Centre’s 16th Finance Commission. The extensions were included in a list sent to the state government in June for fund allocation,” said Rudresh Shukla, media coordinator at GDA.
