The Yamuna expressway
The Yamuna Expressway (formerly Taj Expressway) Project was conceived with the idea of reducing the travel time between New Delhi and Agra.
It will be a 6-lane (expendable to 8 lanes) access-controlled Expressway and will connect Delhi with Agra via Mathura.
The Expressway is to be developed in three phases:-
Phase I: Expressway Stretch between Greater Noida & Taj International Airport.
Phase-II: Expressway Stretch between Taj International Airport and an intermediate destination between Taj International Airport & Agra.
Phase III: Expressway Stretch between intermediate destination & Agra.
Project is slated to be completed by 2010 and is being executed by Jaypee group
