Noida Sector 62 Skywalk Set To Ease Daily Commutes
Construction has started on a 530-metre pedestrian skywalk at Noida’s Model Town crossing in Sector 62, aiming to make one of the city’s busiest intersections safer and easier to navigate. The elevated walkway is expected to reduce risky road crossings, improve connectivity around the metro hub, and support a more pedestrian-friendly approach to urban mobility.
The project comes at a crucial location where thousands of commuters move daily between Noida, Ghaziabad and nearby employment hubs. Sector 62 has developed into a major commercial and transit zone, but the rapid growth has also increased pressure on road infrastructure, with pedestrians often forced to cross high-traffic roads at ground level. The upcoming Noida Sector 62 skywalk will connect all four sides of the junction while linking with the existing foot overbridge. The structure will provide a safer route across Vishwakarma Road and the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, helping commuters access the Electronic City Metro station and intercity transport services more efficiently. The facility will include a circular section of around 350 metres and a straight stretch of nearly 180 metres. Designed as a covered structure, the skywalk will include stairs, lifts and escalators to improve accessibility for senior citizens, people with disabilities and daily commuters carrying goods or luggage.
Urban mobility experts say such infrastructure upgrades are becoming increasingly important as cities expand beyond road-based planning. Providing dedicated pedestrian networks can reduce conflicts between vehicles and walkers, improve road safety and create more inclusive public spaces. The development also highlights a broader challenge for growing urban centres like Noida. While investments in roads, expressways and commercial districts have accelerated economic activity, pedestrian infrastructure has often struggled to keep pace. The Noida Sector 62 skywalk represents an effort to address this imbalance by prioritising safer movement for people rather than only improving vehicle flow. The project, estimated to cost around ₹40 crore, is expected to be completed within eight to nine months. However, officials have indicated that temporary traffic restrictions may be introduced during advanced construction stages to manage movement around the junction.
According to local assessments, more than 50,000 pedestrians use the Sector 62-63 intersection every day, with many currently navigating through moving traffic. The completion of the Noida Sector 62 skywalk could significantly improve safety conditions at one of the region’s most active transit points. As Noida continues to attract businesses, residents and infrastructure investments, planners say future growth will depend not only on faster connectivity but also on creating safer, accessible and climate-resilient urban environments where walking remains a practical choice.
