The Chilla Elevated Road, which has been postponed since 2021 owing to a shortage of funding, is finally going to move forward after the allotment of the budget of Rs 8.01 billion. It is anticipated that the 5.9-kilometre corridor will greatly ease traffic congestion on the Delhi-Noida link route, which runs from Mayur Vihar to the Greater Noida Expressway.
The elevated road would help the thousands of commuters who currently travel between Noida and Delhi through congested areas and traffic jams. It will link Chilla in Mayur Vihar to the Greater Noida Expressway's Mahamaya Flyover in Noida. As a result, the route from Delhi to Pari Chowk will become a nonstop, high-speed corridor.
The project has received permission from the UP government's expenditure finance committee (EFC) for an amount of Rs 8.01 billion, and the state cabinet will now review the proposal. A new tender will be released to locate a company to carry out the project following approval from the cabinet.
The funds allocated for the project would be shared equally by the Noida Authority and the public works department (PWD), officials said.
The authority that has been in charge of constructing the elevated road up until this point, the Uttar Pradesh State Bridge Corporation Ltd (UPSBC), will now hire a private company to finish the job. According to officials, this was the first time in recent memory that a construction agency hired a different contractor to do the task that was entrusted to it.
The budget for the Chilla elevated road project has undergone multiple revisions in the last few years, which has contributed to the project's delay. The project was expected to cost Rs 6.05 billion in 2019. The bridge corporation reduced the budget to Rs 10.76 billion in 2022, three years later. The corporation then reduced the budget to Rs 9.12 billion after the Noida Authority rejected the proposal. The estimate was checked by a private consultant when the Authority was once more unsatisfied, and the sum was further reduced to Rs 8.01 billion. The cost was finally vetted by IIT-Bombay, which also agreed at Rs 8.01 billion. In September 2022, EFC asked the bridge corporation for the file on the amount Noida Authority and PWD needed to spend on the project. The budget was approved after examining the report.
