Dear Safal, 

RED: Starting Point (Greater Noida), Yamuna Expressway – End Point (Agra), Yamuna Expressway – 165.90 km

Starting point is which location in Greater Noida?  As per initial plan of Jaypee, Mahamaya flyover, which is the starting point of Noida-GreaterNoida Expressway was supposed to be the starting point of Yamuna E-way.  

But the Green distance measurement of 35.7 km from Rajghat to Starting point shows that it is the Yamuna E-way entry loop that is starting on Noida-G-Noida E-way is the starting point of Yamuna E-way. 

Please confirm

Dear Mr. Gupta,

 

PPP agreement was signed in 2002 between then state government headed by Mayawati and Jaypee company to build an expressway between Noida and Agra to be called Taj Expressway. As soon as the project took off, many cases were filed by other bidders and farmers against the said expressway. By the time hearings started, Mayawati lost the elections and Samajwadi Party came to power with support of Congress.

 

In 2007 Mayawati returned to power. By then Jaypee had won the legal battle in state High Court. Subsequently, it also won all legal cases in the Supreme Court of India. Thereafter, the name was changed to Yamuna Expressway (under unified policy to build 3 expressways in UP, namely, Ganga Expressway, Yamuna Expressway and Hindon Expressway, all named on rivers flowing along the expressways). According to the agreement signed between the state government and the promoter... the company would build 165 km long expressway from Greater Noida to Agra. Also, the stretch of another expressway, panning from Mahamaya Flyover to Starting Point of expressway (approximately 20 km), was to become part of expressway... adding 20 km and thus making the expressway 185 km long. In return, the company was to widen 20 km stretch (part of Noida-Gr. Noida Expressway) in 4 lanes, construct proper entry and exit points AND also collect toll for 36 years.

 

However, that did not happen. We all know, current government did not approve the idea of toll on Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and therefore a compromise was reached in order to start operations of the expressway. According to recent media reports, old agreement was cancelled and new agreement was signed between both the parties... wherein the said 20 km stretch was not to be part of Yamuna Expressway and therefore the company would neither widen/modernize the expressway and/or collect the toll.

 

Thus, as of now, the Yamuna Expressway remains 165 km long, starting at approximately 20 km from Mahamaya Flyover and 3 km from Pari Chowk. Apart from STARTING POINT, it is also called ZERO POINT.

 

35.70 km long GREEN LINE includes approximate 20.00 km between Mahamaya Flyover in Noida and Starting Point of Yamuna Expressway in Greater Noida.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Safal Suri

Dear Akhil,

 

Thanks for the words of appreciation!

 

As easy as it may seem, meticulously marking and calculating EXACT distances, took me hours, spread over days. I took special care to mark the lines at constant elevation of 250 mt and account for each curve at every 10 mt distance. Also, for my personal future use and for the sake of proper records, I have added a place mark at every 1,000 mt. (so far haven't shard the same with this group).. helping me calculate precise distances between every entry/exit and milestones... not just on Yamuna Expressway, but also on the entire route from Rajghat to Starting Point and... End Point to Taj Mahal. I have also created another map... staring from Rajghat to Taj Mahal via Mathura Road.

 

That said... yes, I too agree that any kid/child who knows how to use Google Earth can CASUALLY mark the route within matter of minutes... however... please remember, such measurements will be far from ACCURATE and therefore the entire exercise stands senseless and futile.

 

The idea of presenting the route and stats was to provide information to those members who have directly written to me asking such/related details. Once I had did the homework and had the details... though of sharing it with the group so that the member(s) who were unaware of the facts may also benefit. The post was certainly NOT meant for those member(s) who know EVERYTHING. Such people may kindly disregard my posts and feel free to delete them without reading. No offence taken.

 

Hope this helps... (those who may find it beneficial),

 

Regards,

 

Safal Suri
