Hindon road extns to cost Rs.193 cr: Authority
Ghaziabad, June 26 -- The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has prepared a detailed project report (DPR) estimating that it will cost Rs.193 crore to build additional entry and exit ramps at the 10.3km Hindon elevated road for giving additional access to the city commuters, said officials on Wednesday.
The DPR will now be sent to the UP government for funds.
"Two additional ramps will be added to the elevated road. One will be from Indirapuram side to take commuters to the elevated road and further to Delhi. The other will be a ramp down from Vasundhara, which will help commuters get down at Vasundhara," said GDA media coordinator Rudresh Shukla.
The move comes after senior UP Housing and Development Board officials visited the city in April and requested additional connectivity to the Hindon elevated road for residents in Vasundhara and Siddharth Vihar housing schemes.
The present 10.3km elevated road starts from near Raj Nagar Extension and goes signal-free to UP-Gate near the East Delhi border. In between, the elevated road has a ramp off at Kanawani in Indirapuram and a ramp at Vasundhara on the opposite side, which takes commuters to Raj Nagar Extension.
GDA officials said these funds (Rs.193 crore) will not be directly invested by the authority.
