December 20, 2023: A greenfield expressway will connect Haryana’s Faridabad with the upcoming Jewar International Airport in Uttar Pradesh, which will be ready by June 20, 2025, the deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala said as cited in a Hindustan Times report.
According to the minister, the construction work of the greenfield expressway by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) was started on June 22, 2023. The NHAI has informed that entry/exit to Kundli Ghaziabad Palwal (KGP) expressway already exists on the Maujpur Chhainsa-Mohana Road and Mohana village is 6.5 kilometre from the entry/exit, he said in a written reply to an unstarred question by Congress MLA Neeraj Sharma.
An interchange at Mohana village to connect Jewar Highway with KGP is being developed. Entry/exit ramps are being constructed on the Mohana-Baghpur-Falaida Road near Haryana and UP border to facilitate the movement of public from areas of both states. Since the construction work of KGP related to NHAI, the proposal to construct entry/exit junction on KGP in Mohana of Faridabad-Jewar Airport greenfield expressway will be taken up with NHAI by the state government, according to the announcement made by the chief minister, Chautala said in his reply.
Faridabad and Jewar Airport expressway route
The proposed six-lane expressway will connect from Sector 65 in Faridabad to the Noida International Airport in Jewar. The expressway will also enable connectivity from the airport to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and integrate with the Delhi-Mumbai Link Road via the KGP Expressway and Yamuna Expressway.
The expressway route will cover 12 villages in Faridabad. The length of the expressway from Ballabhgarh to Jewar Airport will be 31.4 km, of which seven kilometre will fall within Uttar Pradesh and 24 km in Haryana. Faridabad and Jewar Airport expressway will reduce the distance between the two regions to 31 km from the current 90 km.
