Noida-Greater Noida Expressway Traffic Disruptions Until Monday Morning
Traffic Restrictions on Noida-Greater Noida Expressway
Traffic flow towards Delhi will face interruptions until Monday morning on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. The Noida Traffic Police has implemented restrictions near the Bird Feeding Point, close to Dalit Prerna Sthal, affecting the route leading to the national capital. These restrictions will be in effect from 9 PM on Friday until 4 AM on Monday due to necessary repairs on an 800mm underground water pipeline.
Commuters traveling from Pari Chowk to destinations like Mayur Vihar, Akshardham, and Chilla Border along the Noida Expressway are advised to use the Dadri–Surajpur–Chhalera (DSC) Road and Botanical Garden to avoid increased traffic congestion.
Traffic entering Delhi will also be redirected from both directions. Vehicles traveling from Kalindi Kunj towards Chilla Border will be diverted at the DND Flyover, while traffic from the DND Flyover will be rerouted through Noida Sector 37 and the Botanical Garden.
The DSC Road connects to the Botanical Garden metro station and nearby sectors, including Sector 18, Sector 16, and Sector 15, along with shopping areas like Atta Market. However, this route will also experience heightened traffic, leading to delays for commuters. Emergency vehicles, such as ambulances and fire trucks, will have priority access. A helpline number, 9971009001, has been provided by the traffic police for assistance.
Lakhan Singh Yadav, the deputy commissioner of police (traffic), stated, 'The pipe is located approximately 10 meters from the central verge. To facilitate the repair work, a section of the main carriageway—about five meters wide and 30 meters long—will be closed from Friday night until Monday morning.'
DL Verma, Senior Manager at the Noida authority, emphasized the urgency of the repairs, noting, 'This work is crucial. If the pipeline is not fixed, it could potentially harm the expressway. Additionally, with the monsoon season approaching, conducting repairs during rainy weather would be difficult.'
