EXPRESSWAY
http://yamunaexpresswayauthority.com/content/concept-and-background
The Yamuna Expressway Project is conceived with the idea to not only reduce
the travel time between New Delhi and Agra but also to open up avenue for
Industrial and Urban development of the region and provide the base for
convergence to tourism and other allied industries.
The Government of Uttar Pradesh has been working proactively to improve the
connectivity of the National Capital Region to improve tourist attraction of Taj
Mahal at Agra through the new 6 Lanes (extendable to 8 lanes) Access
Controlled Expressway with brand name of Yamuna Expressway.
The Taj needs no introduction. Almost everyone who comes to India makes it a
point to make a trip to the Taj. Presently Agra is about 210 km away from Delhi
by road. A day visitor normally spends nine to ten traveling hours on a return trip
between Delhi and Agra which leaves him with very less time in Agra to see the
Taj and other places of historical importance. The concept of the Yamuna
Expressway which was initially conceived with the idea of cutting down on this
travel time proposes a 160 km Expressway between Greater Noida and Agra thus
reducing the travel time considerably upto 100 minutes only.
For implementing the Yamuna Expressway Project and allied development in the
region, GOUP constituted Taj Expressway Industrial Development Authority (TEA)
vide its Notification No.697/77-4-2001-3(N)/2001 dated 24th April, 2001, under
U.P. Industrial Area Development Act, 1976 (U.P. Act No.6 of 1976). The main
responsibilities of TEA, inter alia, included :
• Execution of Yamuna Expressway.
Length 165.537 Km
Right of Way 100m
Structures
Interchange 7
Underpass 35
Major Bridge 1
Minor Bridge 42
Culverts 204
Objectives of YEA
• To relieve NH-2 which is already congested and runs through the heart of
cities like Faridabad, Ballabgarh and Palwal.
• The Yamuna Expressway along with the existing NH-2 and NH-91 and
interconnectivity between all three of them will form a good network of
roads which in turn, open up a vast area of all-round development in the
following areas :
(a) Upcoming huge urban conglomerates in NOIDA and Greater Noida with their
own potential will have easy accessibility towards Aligarh, Mathura and Agra.
(b) The proposed Export Promotion Zones including Taj Economic Zone along the
Yamuna Expressway coupled with the proposed Taj International Airport and
Aviation Hub will promote economic development of the area and the State of UP
as a whole.
(c) Safe, shorter travel time and the accessibility in the region will accelerate
land development along the Yamuna Expressway in a planned manner for
commercial, industrial, institutional amusement and residential purposes.
The total length of the Yamuna Expressway from Zero Point Greater Noida upto
Agra will be 165.537 kms. as per the Alignment approved in the 14th Board
Meeting held on 09-03-2007.
Fast developing urban conglomerates at Noida and Greater Noida with their
proximity to NCT of Delhi are in need of an uninterrupted direct route to Agra
where further development can be undertaken for economic development of the
State of U.P. The Yamuna Expressway provides this opportunity.
With the Expressway coming up along the proposed Taj Economic Zone and Taj
International Hub Airport within easy reach of Delhi, Noida and Greater Noida,
the Yamuna Expressway Project would accelerate overall development of the
region.
The Yamuna Expressway lies in between the high density vital traffic corridors of
i.e. National Highway (NH-2) connecting Delhi & Agra and old Shershah Suri Road
(NH-91) connecting Kanpur-Aligarh-Khurja-Bullandshahar-Ghaziabad and Delhi.
The Expressway has a great potential of attracting traffic from all these routes.
The Yamuna Expressway will provide connectivity between the various satellite
towns of National Capital Region of Delhi i.e. Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad,
Meerut, Faridabad with Aligarh, Mathura and Agra. Mathura and Agra are well
known international tourist destinations.
The Yamuna Expressway along with the existing NH-2 and NH-91 and
interconnectivity between all three of them will form a good network of roads
which in turn, open up a vast area to all-round development in the following
areas:
• Upcoming huge urban conglomerates in NOIDA and Greater Noida with
their own potential will have easy accessibility towards Aligarh, Mathura
and Agra.
• The proposed Export Promotion zones including Taj Economic Zone along
the Yamuna Expressway coupled with the Taj International Hub Airport will
promote economic development of the area and the State of UP as a
whole.
• Safe, shorter travel time and the accessibility in the region will accelerate
land development along the Yamuna Expressway in a planned manner for
commercial, industrial, institutional amusement and residential purposes.
