Noida, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad— The much-anticipated FNG Motorway (Faridabad–Noida–Ghaziabad) is now getting even more attention. The 56-km, 6-lane corridor connecting three major towns in the NCR is being pushed forward even faster by the state governments and the government.
Building will start in Faridabad
Ranbir Gangwa, Haryana’s Public Works Minister, told the press at a meeting on July 1, 2025, that work would begin on the Faridabad section. The project is worth about ₹950 crore and includes making a 650-meter bridge over the Yamuna River. Haryana and Uttar Pradesh will each pay their fair share of the costs. Gangwa stressed getting rid of regulatory hurdles, bringing files to the attention of the cabinet, and quickly releasing bids to speed up work on both the Faridabad East–West elevated corridor and the FNG section.
An Important Yamuna River Link
The main attention is on the 600-meter Yamuna bridge, which is an important part. According to InfraJunction, Haryana and UP have agreed to split the ₹200 crore cash equally once the DPR is done and the surveys are done. The work will begin in late 2025, which will improve coordination in the area. This bridge fills in a major hole, making travel between Noida’s Sector 168 and Faridabad’s Sector 167A smooth.
Feeder networks, roads, and underpasses
On the Noida side, the project also includes a lot of infrastructure to help it run. Plans call for a 3.68-km underpass that will cost 30.3 crore, a 650-m elevated road that will cost 633 crore, and a 75-m-wide approach road that will help people get to important corridors more easily.
Along with motorway interchanges, feeder and patch roads are planned to improve last-mile connections, connecting areas like Greater Noida West and Greater Faridabad.
Status of the project and due dates
It’s 56 km long, with 28.1 km in Faridabad, 20 km in Noida/Greater Noida, and 8 km in Ghaziabad.
It’s worth mentioning that about 70% of the Noida stretch is finished and partially operating.
The original plan for phase 1 was to finish by 2027, with the Noida pieces finished first, then Ghaziabad, and finally Faridabad.
The new push, which includes agreements about the Yamuna bridge and approval from the government, is meant to meet or beat that deadline.
Connectivity and a boost to the economy
When it’s finished, the FNG Motorway will cut journey time between Faridabad, Noida, and Ghaziabad in half. Commutes could go from taking hours to taking less than 45 minutes. It will go around the crowded parts of Delhi, cut down on pollution by diverting heavy cars, and boost economic, commercial, and residential growth in nearby NCR areas.
Urban planners say it’s a great example of how states can work together to solve problems like money, paperwork, and bad design. Haryana, UP, and the Noida Authority all worked together on it. To help choose the best route for the parts that are still being worked on, the DPR also includes three different alignments.
