Noida Authority has announced a plan to build a 400-metre circular skywalk at the busy Sector 62-63 roundabout. This project aims to reduce traffic congestion and improve pedestrian safety along the Delhi-Meerut Expressway.
In Short
- Skywalk designed to handle over 50,000 pedestrians daily
- Project includes escalators, elevators, and iron canopy roof
- Connects with foot overbridge for safer Ghaziabad-Noida crossing
The Noida Authority has unveiled plans to build a 400-metre-long circular skywalk at the busy Sector 62-63 roundabout on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. Designed to handle over 50,000 pedestrians daily, the skywalk aims to ease traffic congestion and enhance pedestrian safety and comfort in one of Noida’s most bustling areas.
The structure will mirror the existing roundabout's design and feature escalators, elevators, and an iron canopy roof to provide all-weather protection. Notably, it will connect with a nearby foot overbridge, making it easier for pedestrians traveling from Ghaziabad to access Noida without crossing busy lanes of traffic.
The project is estimated to cost Rs 40 crore, and a detailed project report has already been prepared. It will soon be reviewed by IIT experts before work begins.
This initiative is part of a larger plan to upgrade a 3.5-kilometre stretch from Sector 62 to Mamura. The upgrade includes road widening, footpath construction, redesigned U-turns, an auto-rickshaw stand near NH-9, and improved parking facilities around metro stations.
This area sees heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic due to the high concentration of offices, hotels, and hospitals. The skywalk project seeks to reduce this congestion and improve overall accessibility and safety.
Once completed, the circular skywalk is expected to become a landmark in urban infrastructure and pedestrian convenience in Noida, offering a modern solution to long-standing traffic and commuter challenges in the region.
