LUCKNOW, Aug. 5 -- The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet on Tuesday approved the construction of a Rs.8,585.51-crore, 74.467-km greenfield Jewar-link Expressway to connect Noida International Airport at Jewar with the Ganga Expressway via Bulandshahr.

Chief minister Yogi Adityanath chaired the Cabinet meeting, which approved the six-lane access-controlled expressway, expandable to eight lanes, to be built under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) model. The state government will soon begin the bidding process for the project. A senior official said the corridor would reduce travel time to Bulandshahr, Ghaziabad and nearby areas.
