Jewar Ganga Link Expressway Project: The Yogi government of Uttar Pradesh has taken a big step to give new heights to the state's expressway network. The state cabinet has given its final approval to the construction of four new link expressways. The estimated cost of this entire scheme has been fixed at Rs 17,542.06 crore. The most important of these four projects is Jewar Link Expressway, which will create direct connectivity between Yamuna Expressway and Ganga Expressway. Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority i.e. UPEDA will get all these roads constructed. This decision is expected to further accelerate the pace of development in the entire state.
Direct route will be built between Yamuna and Ganga Expressway
The total length of Jewar Link Expressway has been fixed at about 74 kilometers. This route will start from near the Film City being built on Yamuna Expressway and will connect to Ganga Expressway near Syana in Bulandshahr. This route will be prepared in two packages. With the construction of this road, people of the districts of Western Uttar Pradesh as well as Delhi NCR will get great convenience in reaching Jewar International Airport directly. With the connection of both the big expressways, new industries and logistics related businesses will grow rapidly in this entire area.
Land acquisition work in final stages
For this big project, land acquisition work is being completed rapidly in Gautam Buddha Nagar and Bulandshahr districts. Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority and the local district administration are working together to complete this work. Acquisition of most of the land has already been completed and the legal process is underway on the remaining portions. UPEDA had started the tender process for both the packages of this route. Now after getting the formal approval of the Cabinet, the way has been completely cleared for the selection of road building companies at the grassroots level and starting the construction work.

Construction will be completed in three years and maintenance for five years
The state government has decided that all these roads will be constructed on Engineering, Procurement and Construction i.e. EPC model. Construction agencies will be selected in a transparent manner on the basis of lowest financial bid. The selected companies will have to complete the work within three years with stipulated time frame and high quality. After construction, the entire responsibility of maintenance and repair of the road will remain on the same companies for the next five years. The entire expense of this entire project will be borne by the Uttar Pradesh government itself and no financial assistance from the central government will be involved in it.
