N G Ravi Kumar, CEO of Greater Noida Authority, has formed a joint team of officials of the authority and NCRTC to finalise one route in a week after a survey of all the three routes.National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) Thursday suggested three possible routes to connect Greater Noida and Greater Noida West with the high speed rail transport system of Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS).
N G Ravi Kumar, CEO of Greater Noida Authority, has formed a joint team of officials of the authority and NCRTC to finalise one route in a week after a survey of all the three routes.
Rapid rails are three times faster than the Metro trains with the maximum operation speed of 160 km/hour.
The route will connect with the proposed RRTS from Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor to the Jewar Airport. It will be built from Siddharth Vihar in Ghaziabad to the airport via Char Murti Chowk (Gaur Chowk) in Greater Noida West, officials said.
In a meeting held on Thursday, officials said that three alternative routes of RRTS have been suggested from Char Murti Chowk.
“The first route has been proposed from Char Murti Chowk on a 130-metre wide road to Noida Airport via the authority office and Pari Chowk. The second route is suggested to be via a 60 metre road from Greater Noida West and the third is from Char Murti Chowk to Noida Airport via Knowledge Park-5, Surajpur and Kasna,” said an official.
The survey team will include the Additional CEO of Greater Noida Authority, officials of Planning and Project Department and NCRTC. The CEO has been asked to do an on-the-spot survey of the routes and give suggestions within a week.
“Meanwhile, a utility report on the route will be given by the authority and a detailed report of the route will be prepared by NCRTC and submitted to the authority,” said an official.
Ravi Kumar also said that selection of the route should be meant to fulfil the present and future traffic needs, so that the people of Greater Noida do not have to face the problem of congestion anywhere.
A total of eight RRTS corridors have been identified to be developed in the National Capital Region (NCR), out of which three corridors have been prioritised to be implemented in Phase-I including Delhi – Ghaziabad – Meerut Corridor; Delhi – Gurugram – SNB – Alwar Corridor; and Delhi – Panipat Corridor.
