Yamuna Expressway
A 165m long, 6-lane expressway connecting two important
cities of India, Noida and Agra, the Yamuna Expressway is proving to be indispensable
in its function. It is actually one of the quickest project to be completed in
India (two years before its target).
Its greatest advantage is its reduction of time of travel to
90-120 minutes. It has increased accessibility to the capital of the country,
Delhi. It has led to a residential boom with an estimate of more than 20,000
plots to be constructed. It also has led
to development of underlying areas there. It also benefits the tourism
industry, with an increase in frequency of visits to the Taj Mahal. (Not to
forget the fact of Jaypee Raceway Course) “Substantial investments have been
planned for residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and recreational
developments on the vast tracts of land on either sides of the Expressway, some
of which are already under way, which should catapult the region into the next
pedestal of development and growth.” (Yamunaeay)
Other benefits include decongestion, reduction in traffic and
pollution, integration with national security systems, facilities along the
expressway etc.
