Uttar Pradesh Floats ₹8,586 Crore Tenders for 74-Km Yamuna-Ganga Link Expressway
The Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has invited bids to appoint developers for the first two phases of a 74-km link expressway connecting the Yamuna Expressway with the Ganga Expressway. The project carries an estimated investment of ₹8,586 crore.
The six-lane access-controlled highway will cover design, engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance works, with the selected developer responsible for maintaining the corridor through a five-year defect liability period. The project has a three-year completion schedule, and the design allows for future widening to eight lanes.
The first phase will span around 24 km, between Bhaipur Brahmanan in Greater Noida and Bichaul village in Bulandshahr. The second phase will extend nearly 50 km, from Bichaul to Bahanpur near Syana. The corridor will begin at the 24.8-km mark of the Yamuna Expressway and terminate at the 44.3-km point of the Ganga Expressway near Syana, passing through 56 villages across Gautam Buddha Nagar and Bulandshahr districts.
The project will include seven underpasses, 11 minor bridges, three major bridges, a flyover, and four railway overbridges. Land acquisition is progressing across both districts, with nearly 90% of the requirement within the Yamuna Authority area already secured.
Once completed, the link expressway will provide a direct road connection between the Yamuna and Ganga expressways, improving access to Noida International Airport for western Uttar Pradesh and connecting industrial parks and logistics clusters along both corridors.
