Question

Where is yamuna expressway situated why is it important?

Answer 1

Answer:

Built at a cost of more than Rs 10,000 crore by the Jaypee Group, Yamuna Expressway covers more than 165 km of road that connects Noida and Greater Noida to Agra, the city of the Taj Mahal. This expressway is also an important means for reducing traffic on the busy National Highway 2.

Answer 2

The Yamuna Expressway is about 165 km long, linking Noida to Agra, the city of Taj Mahal, and Greater Noida to Agra. This highway is also an effective way to reduce traffic on busy National Highway 2 (NH2)

Explanation:

• In order to reduce traveling time between New Delhi and Agra, the Yamuna Expressway Project, also referred to as "Taj expressway," was built by the Uttar Pradesh government. Agra is about 210 km from Delhi on the old route, and it takes about 4–5 hours to drive in one direction. It was rather unworkable for a tourist from Delhi / NCR to come to Taj Mahal as well as other important historical places in Agra and return on that day as he usually would spend between 9 and 10 hours on a tour. The gap between Agra and Greater Noida is reduced to 165 km by the opening of Yamuna Expressway and a taxi from Agra to Delhi would take 2.5 hours as the road is smooth with 6 lanes
• The other aim of this project is to connect the commercial centers and townships on the east of Yamuna and to help develop all neighboring areas
