To revamp roads in Noida city the Noida Authority has intensified plans. An extensive resurfacing, widening and strengthening drive with an allocated budget of around Rs 150 crore has been undertaken for the facelift of the city's road network post monsoon.    

The Authority CEO Sanjeev Saran has directed officers heading the ten work circles to ensure that all arterial roads under their jurisdiction are repaired, resurfaced and re-carpeted without delay. The decision comes in the wake of motorists having a tough time on major roads like Master Plan Road-I, II, III, Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and Udyog Marg.    

Following the monsoons, roads have been left badly pockmarked with rough patches. Many arterial routes have worsened with cave-ins proving to be hazardous for road users.    

AK Goel, Chief Maintenance Engineer (Civil) said that the Authority repair the roads temporarily by filling the potholes during monsoon, but after heavy rains the material starts coming off. Permanent repairs and resurfacing can only be done after the monsoon recedes, he added.
