Yamuna Expressway // Delhi - Noida - Mathura - Agra // Taj Expressway// One Day Traveller

Yamuna Expressway or Taj Expressway is a 6-lane (extendable to 8 lanes), 165 km long, access controlled expressway, connecting Greater Noida with Agra in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is one of India's longest six-lane controlled-access expressway stretches. The total project cost was ₹128.39 billion (US$1.9 billion). The expressway project was inaugurated on 9 August 2012 by the then Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav. The project was started to decongest the older Delhi-Agra (NH 2) or Mathura Road which is already over congested. The expressway starts from Greater Noida and ends at Kuberpur on NH-2 towards Kanpur. In addition, a total of 13 service roads of about 168 km have been built for local commuters to access the expressway. Yamuna Expressway will be connected with Eastern Peripheral Expressway via an interchange which is being built near Jaganpura –Afzalpur village at Yamuna Expressway in Gautam Budh Nagar district.
