Mahagunpuram- Ghaziabad Development Authority makes plans for smooth traffic movement on NH-24




The Ghaziabad Development Authority has finally been given a nudge by the state government to make commuting between the NCR and Delhi smoother. A new plan has been proposed to decongest the NH-24. A team ofNHAI and GDA officials did a recce of the highway and decided to work on laying new service lanes and constructing underpasses to divert traffic for smooth movement of vehicles.


Giving details about the project, GDA vice chairman Santosh Yadav the authority will utilize existing underpasses at Shipra Mall and the carbon factory along NH-24 for diverting traffic. The authority has also proposed to build three new underpasses along the stretch from Lal Kuan to UP Gate, the locations of which would be soon decided. Besides, new service roads at Chhajarsi, CISF turn and Kalapathar would be constructed parallel to the highway to streamline traffic between Ghaziabad and Noida.

In addition to these, three foot overbridges (FOB) have been planned, each at district collectorate, Vijay Nagar and Khoda so that pedestrians do not face problems crossing the highway. Yadav said, "We have given a detailed presentation to NHAI regarding these proposals and they have agreed to all of them in principle."

GDA has also invited suggestions from the public for better planning and implementation of policies. These suggestions will be shared through phone, mobiles phones and cyber space.

The authority also announced that allottees in various schemes can get their plots up to 300 sqm approved within a single working day. In addition, from next month, approval of building plans will also be done within a day.
