Other Heavy and light vehicles going to Ghaziabad, Hapur or Moradabad via the elevated road on MP-1 road will go towards their destination using Eastern Peripheral Expressway from Noida-Greater Noida Expressway.”
The traffic police also said that the vehicles going to Ghaziabad, Hapur and Moradabad via NIB, Model Town, Chhijarsi (Sector 63), and Taj Highway will be sent back via Eastern Peripheral Expressway.
