The ground-breaking of a new greenfield expressway linking Palwal in Haryana to Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh has now been initiated. The infrastructure project will greatly enhance connectivity between western Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, providing relief to commuters going to major destinations such as Gurugram, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, and Meerut.

Project Details and Investment

The Palwal-Aligarh Expressway will cover a distance of around 32 kilometers, connecting Tappal with the Yamuna Expressway and Palwal with the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. The cost of this ambitious road project has been estimated at ₹2,300 crore.

The expressway, once developed, will provide quicker connectivity from Aligarh to Agra, Mathura, Delhi NCR, Noida, Greater Noida, and Gurugram, cutting travel time significantly.
