Noida (UP), Dec 18 (PTI) The Noida Authority on Friday finalised an agency for construction of a flyover at the Parthala Chowk in Greater Noida (West) which is scheduled to be completed by December 2021, officials said.

Costing approximately Rs 80 crore, the six-lane “signature flyover” on the Master Plan-3 road will run 697 metres and bring relief to thousands of commuters who get stuck in road traffic there, they said.

“Noida Authority CEO Ritu Maheshwari today reviewed the work on the project. Private firm Manglam Buildcon has been selected as the construction agency for the Parthala flyover,” Authority's General Manager Rajeev Tyagi said.
