The Greater Noida Authority has issued tenders for repairing three important roads, including the route from the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway to Sector Omicron-3, in a package expected to cost about Rs 7 crore. The works are intended to improve traffic movement and address potholes and damaged internal roads affecting commuters and residents.
According to officials from the Authority’s project department, an interlocking-tile road will be constructed to help regulate traffic on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. The work will be carried out by Work Circle 4 and has been allocated Rs 1.64 crore. Companies have been invited to submit applications through the tender process.
The Authority said the traffic-control road is intended to make vehicle movement on the expressway smoother and reduce congestion. The announcement does not specify a completion date or the expected duration of construction.
In Sector Omicron-3, repairs will be undertaken on roads measuring 18 metres and 12 metres in width, along with internal roads in D-Block. The work has been assigned to Work Circle 6 and is estimated to cost Rs 1.77 crore. The repairs are expected to address broken surfaces, dust and potholes in the sector.
Additional internal road repairs have been planned in Blocks A and C of the Ansal Golf Link-1 society. The Authority has set aside Rs 3.31 crore for these development works. Together, the three road-related packages account for the approximately Rs 7 crore expenditure cited in the report.
The wider infrastructure programme also includes works in Greater Noida’s villages. The Authority has said that primary and upper-primary schools in Devla, Lakhanawali, Haldauni and Kulesara will undergo repairs. At schools in Rithauri, Dabra, Rampur Fatehpur and Maycha, planned works include mid-day meal sheds, two additional rooms, interlocking tiles in school premises and toilet renovations.
Four ponds in Ladpura village are also planned for beautification. The proposal includes restoring the ponds to their original form and building footpaths around them for walking. These works are part of the Authority’s stated effort to provide village residents with facilities similar to those available in urban sectors.
The Authority has separately prepared a plan to develop villages as smart villages. Aichhar village is to receive sewerage, drinking-water pipelines, concrete roads and streetlights under the programme. The Authority says more than 20 villages have already been developed as smart villages, while work remains pending in several others. Each smart-village project costs more than Rs 8 crore, according to the report.
A.K. Singh, general manager of projects at the Greater Noida Authority, said development works were being carried out in both urban and rural areas. He said road widening and repair works were under way to improve movement and provide relief from congestion. The immediate next step for the three road packages is the tender process through which agencies will be selected for execution.
