Rs 224 crore sought for safer ride on Yamuna Expressway
NOIDA: To make the 165-km Yamuna Expressway safe for commuters, the concessionaire of the high-speed stretch has asked the Uttar Pradesh government for Rs 224 crore from its road safety budget.
The move came after a three-member Supreme Court-appointed committee on road safety recommended that a per-kilometre audit in August last year in the wake of an increasing number of accidents on the expressway.
The study conducted by IIT-Delhi had identified and assessed crash locations on the expressway based on the past three years’ traffic crash data and provided suggestions and measures to reduce accident risks at those spots.
