A heavy traffic jam was witnessed on the Noida expressway on Saturday as a portion of the road (Noida-Greater Noida side) caved in near Sector 142 on Friday evening. Only two lanes, out of four, on the Noida-Greater Noida side of the expressway are currently operational due to an underpass work.
After the cave-in incident, only one lane was operational on Saturday, officials said.
Anil Nigam, a resident of Noida’s Sector 49 and dean of journalism department at a Greater Noida college, said that he was stuck in a traffic jam for more than an hour on Saturday morning. “There was at least 2km jam around 8.30am on the expressway. There were no officials from the traffic police at the spot.
