There is news of relief for those traveling from NCR city Faridabad to Noida and Ghaziabad. The Public Works Department (PWD) has completed the survey work of the Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad Expressway (FNG Expressway) project. Three alignments (routes) have been prepared in the new detailed project report (DPR) of this expressway. Work on one will be started after getting approval from PWD headquarters.
After Diwali, DPR will be sent to the headquarters by PWD. With the completion of the project, one lakh people commuting between Ghaziabad-Noida and Faridabad via Delhi will get relief from the problem of traffic jam. About one lakh people from the city commute to Noida-Ghaziabad every day for jobs and other work. Yamuna river flows between Noida-Faridabad. People have to go to Noida by road via Delhi Kalindi Kunj. Drivers often face problems due to jams on this road built along the Agra Canal. Whereas if someone goes from Delhi to Noida, he has to get stuck in traffic for hours. It takes at least an hour to go by metro. Due to which people are facing a lot of trouble. About six months ago, MSV Company of Noida was appointed as the consultant agency by the Public Works Department to prepare the DPR of the expressway. The agency has prepared the DPR and submitted it to the Public Works Department, in which three alignments have been identified.
Project included in NCR Planning Board: FNG was included in the regional plan of NCR Planning Board in 1998 and in the Master Plan of 2011 on the suggestion of Faridabad Municipal Corporation. After the survey this scheme was canceled. A plan was prepared to restart it in the year 2015. But the work could not start till now.
Survey has already been done
The state government has included the FNG project among its major projects. Two years ago, Chief Minister Manohar Lal had held a review meeting with officials regarding the unnecessary delay in the project. In which he had ordered the officials to resolve all the disputes and start the work. After this, officials of Faridabad Metropolitan Development Authority and Public Works Department reached the spot and inspected the possible route. The place was marked for the bridge to be built on Yamuna.
These are the proposed routes
PWD has completed the survey to build a nine kilometer long road in Faridabad. A new route has been prepared for this. The flaws in the route have been included. According to PWD officials, the FNG Expressway will start from near the private hospital located in Sector-88 of Greater Faridabad. After this, it will reach the banks of Yamuna in Lalpur via Khedi Kalan village. Where it will be connected to Mangrauli village of Noida through a bridge. A 600 meter long bridge will be built on Yamuna river between Faridabad and Noida. Haryana and Uttar Pradesh governments will spend 50-50 percent of the budget on this bridge. This will be a six-lane bridge. It is estimated that around Rs 150 to 200 crore will be spent on this. Also, to connect the bridge, the authorities on both sides will construct approach roads at their own expense.
Executive Engineer of Public Works Department, Pradeep Sandhu said, “The survey of FNG has been completed. Three routes have been identified in the DPR prepared by the consultant agency. Its file will soon be sent to the government for approval. After getting the approval, construction work will be started on one of these routes.”
