About the planned 25 km Road, set to benefit Ghaziabad, Noida Commuters
The 130-metre-wide road will start near Sirsa in Greater Noida, pass through Alauda village and upcoming YEIDA sectors 16, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 7, and 8, and then run along the airport’s cargo and aviation hub to reach the Jewar Airport.

HT quoted YEIDA’s chief executive officer RK Singh, who stated that this project will boost connectivity from Ghaziabad and Greater Noida West to Noida International airport. He also confirmed the amount that the authority will be spending to construct this road.
