Hindon Elevated Road – New Ramps + Cloverleaf Interchange (₹200 crore plan)
What is being planned
GDA has proposed building two new ramps and a cloverleaf interchange on the Hindon Elevated Road to significantly improve traffic flow and connectivity for residents in Indirapuram, Vasundhara, Siddharth Vihar and surrounding areas.
Why it’s important
- Current access is limited: Presently, Vasundhara and Kanawani have only one-way ramps or restricted access — meaning vehicles can’t directly enter/exit the elevated road toward UP Gate (Delhi-Ghaziabad border).
- Connectivity improvement: The new infrastructure will allow two-way access — making it easier for residents to reach major city points and the UP Gate without long detours on surface roads.
- Traffic decongestion: The cloverleaf interchange planned near the Kanawani culvert will help traffic merge more smoothly, reducing congestion in densely populated neighbourhoods.
Project components
- Two ramps (about 400 m long each) to provide entry/exit from both Indirapuram and Vasundhara.
- A cloverleaf interchange to streamline movements and reduce conflict points between vehicles.
- A Detailed Project Report (DPR) is being prepared; tenders and construction could begin within ~6 months of DPR completion.
Funding request
- GDA has formally requested ₹200 crore from the Uttar Pradesh government for this project.
About Hindon Elevated Road
- The 10.3 km elevated road was commissioned in 2018 and reduced travel time across the city drastically, linking Raj Nagar Extension with UP Gate (Delhi).
🏙️ 2) Handover of Colonies & Roads to Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation (₹66 crore)
What happened
GDA has transferred responsibility for several key residential colonies and roads in Ghaziabad to the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation for improved civic services and infrastructure development.
Funding details
- A total of ₹66 crore (≈ ₹66.32 crore) has been allocated to the Municipal Corporation as financial assistance for development and maintenance in these areas.
- Of this, ₹33 crore has already been released as the first installment.
Purpose of the transfer
GDA’s move aims to improve:
- Civic amenities (water supply, streetlights, sanitation)
- Road maintenance and repair
- Waste management
- Sewerage and drainage systems
- General upkeep in residential zones
What residents can expect
With the Municipal Corporation taking over, local residents in the affected colonies should see:
- Faster response to complaints
- More systematic infrastructural upkeep
- Better integration of city services
GDA has also handed over all related documents and maintenance records to the corporation to ensure continuity in services.
