Yamuna Expressway
Yamuna Expressway is a 6-lane (expandable to 8), 165.5 km (102.8 mi) long access-controlled expressway in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is presently India's sixth longest expressway and connects Greater Noida with Agra. It was built to de-congest the older Delhi–Agra national highway (NH-2) or Mathura Road.
The expressway saw an investment ₹12,839 crore (US$1.5 billion) and was inaugurated on 9 August 2012 by then Chief Minister of UP Akhilesh Yadav. A total of 13 service roads of about 168 km were built for local commuters to access the expressway.[unreliable source?]
After years of delays, construction was completed in May 2012, and the expressway was formally inaugurated on 9 August 2012, about two years behind its original target completion date.
In a first for military aviation in India, the Indian Air Force on 21 May 2015 successfully landed a French Dassault Mirage 2000 on the Yamuna Expressway near Raya village, Mathura.
The mock drill was a practice run to evaluate the utility of highways for emergency landings by military aircraft.
The Yamuna Expressway has SOS booths along the route besides a toll-free helpline. CCTV cameras are installed every 5 km (3.1 mi) along the expressway. There are mobile radars to monitor compliance with minimum and maximum speed limits; and one highway patrol every 25 km (16 mi). The Expressway is expected to be used by over 100,000 vehicles every day, and reduce travel times between Greater Noida and Agra from four hours to one hour 40 minutes. There is a patrol station at Tappal, the halfway point on the expressway. Tappal 60 km (37 mi) from Noida Sec. 37 i.e. botanical garden. In 2025, the Yamuna Expressway successfully implemented all road safety measures recommended by an expert team from IIT Delhi.
Metro rail service from Pari Chowk to Yamuna Expressway Sector 18 and 20 will be added in the future, according to officials.
