Gaur Chowk underpass trial to begin for three days from November 5

There is good news for the residents of Greater Noida West ahead of Diwali. The underpass being built at Gaur Chowk will be opened for a three-day trial starting November 5. The Greater Noida administration has provided official information regarding this. During this trial, vehicular movement will be allowed through the underpass so that the traffic system and other arrangements related to construction can be properly inspected.

Due to the construction work of this underpass, local residents have been facing traffic jam problems daily for the last several months. Long queues of vehicles were seen here, especially during peak morning and evening hours. Due to the construction of the underpass, the pressure of traffic on the roads had increased, and people had to spend extra time reaching their destinations. Now, with the start of the underpass trial, it is hoped that local residents and commuters passing through this route will get relief from traffic jams.

According to the administration, this trial starting from November 5 will last for three days. During this period, vehicles will be allowed to pass through the underpass, and the traffic system will be monitored. If any flaws related to construction or operations are found during the trial, they will be rectified. After the completion of this process, the process of opening the underpass for the general public on a regular basis will be taken forward. However, the date for when it will be opened permanently has not been announced yet.

This underpass built at Gaur Chowk is approximately 700 meters long and has six lanes. An expenditure of approximately ₹92 crore has been incurred on the construction of this entire project. The construction work of this project was started in July 2024. With the opening of the underpass, the pressure of vehicles at the busy Gaur Chowk is expected to decrease.

With this underpass becoming operational, commuters traveling to and from Noida, Greater Noida, Surajpur, Gaur City, and the Delhi-Meerut Expressway will get a major facility. This will especially benefit those residents of Greater Noida West who have to pass through this intersection daily. Now everyone's eyes are on this three-day trial. If this trial is successful and the traffic system runs smoothly, the way for the regular operation of the underpass could be cleared.

The implementation of this project will increase the infrastructural development of the area and save travel time. The obstacles that arose due to the construction of the underpass are now likely to be removed. This inspection being done by the administration is to ensure that when the general public uses this route, there is no kind of hindrance.
