Noida, October 8, 2025 – Commuters on the Taj Expressway face a three-month period of traffic diversions as authorities commence construction of a six-lane underpass near Gaur City, officials announced.
Major Route Changes Ahead
The construction project will necessitate significant alterations to daily traffic patterns on one of Noida’s busiest corridors. Authorities have warned commuters and logistics operators to expect route changes, extended travel times, and congestion in surrounding areas during the construction phase.
The diversions will primarily affect vehicles traveling between Noida and Greater Noida, with alternative routes being designated to manage traffic flow during peak hours.
Infrastructure Upgrade Project
The six-lane underpass is being constructed to permanently ease traffic congestion at the Gaur City junction, a notorious bottleneck on the highway. Once completed, the infrastructure upgrade is expected to significantly improve vehicular movement and reduce travel time.
Officials emphasized that while short-term inconvenience is unavoidable, the long-term benefits will enhance connectivity for lakhs of daily commuters using this critical arterial route.
Advisory for Commuters
Authorities have advised daily commuters to plan additional travel time and consider alternative routes where possible. Logistics companies have been urged to adjust delivery schedules accounting for potential delays during construction hours.
Traffic police personnel will be deployed at key diversion points to manage vehicle flow and minimize disruption during the three-month construction period.
