Proposed Double-Decker Elevated Road Project in Shahberi to Ease Traffic Congestion

Proposed Infrastructure Development

Greater Noida authorities have proposed the construction of an elevated road project in the Shahberi area to address persistent traffic congestion. The project aims to improve connectivity for residents in the Greater Noida West region by providing a structured multi-level road network.

Project Overview

• Joint Effort: The project is a collaborative effort involving the Greater Noida Authority, Noida Authority, Ghaziabad Development Authority, and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
• Design Concept: The planned road is designed as a double-decker elevated structure. Current reports indicate that the first level will facilitate traffic moving from Greater Noida towards Ghaziabad, while the second level will serve vehicles moving from Ghaziabad to Greater Noida.
• Technical Specifications: The project spans approximately 2.5 kilometers. While earlier plans envisioned a four-lane road, the updated proposal focuses on a double-decker design with each level estimated to be 9 to 10 meters wide. An additional link road is also planned to connect near the Shahberi drain to the 60-meter-wide road near Tigri.

Status and Financials

According to Greater Noida Authority CEO Ravi Kumar NG, the project is estimated to cost approximately ₹1,200 crore. The authority has formally written to the NHAI to initiate the Detailed Project Report (DPR) and subsequent construction activities. The existing surface-level road will remain operational, with the elevated structure built above it to optimize traffic flow.

How to verify

Official updates regarding this infrastructure project can be tracked through the public notifications released by the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) or official press releases from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) regarding NHAI projects.
