Gaur Chowk underpass update– Greater Noida West commuters are expected to get relief from traffic jams soon, as construction of an underpass is underway to ease congestion at Gaur Chowk. The slab or roof work of the underpass has now been completed. It is being told that this slab will be soon opened for vehicles. After the demolition of the roundabout built at Gaur Chowk, vehicles travelling from Noida to Greater Noida’s Ek Murti will be able to pass through directly. This will provide some relief from traffic congestion at Gaur Chowk. However, on the Taj Highway running parallel to the underpass, drivers will have to turn left before Gaur intersection and then take a U-turn.

Gaur Chowk underpass update- Set for completion in six months

Lakhs of people living in Greater Noida West have to face the problem of jam at Gaur Chowk i.e. Char Murti Chowk. During morning and evening, several kilometers long queue of vehicles is witnessed, affecting travel experience and consuming time of commuters headed to their destinations. Keeping in mind the problems faced by commuters, an underpass is being built here by the authority.

Vehicles running on Taj Highway will pass through this underpass. CEO of Greater Noida Authority NG Ravi Kumar has inspected the construction work of the underpass. According to Kumar, the newly constructed slab of the underpass will be opened for vehicles. Its opening is expected to provide some relief to the commuters. However, it will take another six months for the complete construction of this 700 meter long underpass.

Built at a cost of 92 crores

The main objective of the underpass being built at Gaur Chowk is to solve the problem of traffic jam in Greater Noida West. It also aims to connect Greater Noida directly to Gaur City and Delhi-Meerut Expressway. For this, it is being considered to allow vehicles to pass through bypass Gaur Chowk, which will reduce the traffic load on the intersection significantly.

This project is being built at a cost of about Rs 92 crore. There is mounting traffic pressure in this area from multiple routes, including Noida, Surajpur, Crossings Republik and DME. Under the redevelopment plan, the size of the existing rotary at Gaur Chowk will be reduced and the iconic four statues will be re-installed in the center of the intersection.
