Hit by Covid-19, the deadline for the construction of the Bhangel elevated road has been pushed back till the end of next year.
The UP Bridge corporation, the state agency building this road, had started work on June 8, 2020, with a deadline of December 2022, said officials. Once completed, the 5.5 km six-lane road could save 30 minutes between Noida and Greater Noida, and avoid congestion at Barola and Bhangel villages.
Noida MLA Pankaj Singh, Noida Authority chief general manager Rajiv Tyagi and other senior officials inspected the project on Tuesday.
“Work got delayed due to Covid-19 pandemic. So far 42% of the work is complete,” said Rajiv Tyagi chief general manager of the Noida authority, which is spending ₹467 crore on the project.
