Understand the interchange location, expected opening timeline, regional routes and its importance for Greater Noida and the Yamuna Expressway corridor.
Greater Noida & YEIDA Infrastructure Update Updated: 4 October 2026Two Expressways. One Important Connection.
The Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE)-Yamuna Expressway interchange is one of the important connectivity projects taking shape in Greater Noida.
The two expressways pass through the region, but until now there has been no direct interchange allowing vehicles to move seamlessly between them.
Commuters from Ghaziabad, Meerut, Kundli, Palwal and other parts of NCR have had to use alternative routes before joining the Yamuna Expressway.
The interchange is particularly relevant for the growing Yamuna Expressway and Noida International Airport corridor.
Latest Update – October 2026
The interchange near Jaganpur-Afzalpur was reported to be around 80% complete in September 2026.
Remaining work included resurfacing, retaining walls, road markings and streetlights. Completion was targeted for October 15, followed by trials.

Expected Opening Date and Public Access Status
Target completion: October 15, 2026
Testing and trials: After completion
Public opening: Expected before Diwali, subject to approvals
As of October 4, 2026, the interchange should be treated as under construction or finalisation unless an official opening notification has been issued.
Existing Route vs Route Through the Interchange
Vehicles switching between the corridors have historically needed other exits and local-road connections.
A detour of approximately 15-20 km was reported for some movements.
Existing Route
EPE → Alternate exit → Local roads → Greater Noida / Pari Chowk route → Yamuna Expressway
After Opening
EPE → Direct interchange → Yamuna Expressway
How Will It Improve Noida International Airport Connectivity?
The interchange can benefit travellers approaching from Ghaziabad, Meerut, Kundli, Sonipat, Palwal, Haryana and other NCR locations.
It Does Not Connect Directly to the Airport Terminal
It connects the EPE and Yamuna Expressway. The journey continues through the relevant airport approach network.
Routes from Ghaziabad, Meerut, Kundli and Palwal
Ghaziabad
Use the EPE towards the interchange and transfer to Yamuna Expressway.
Meerut
Approach through the wider NCR expressway network towards the EPE connection.
Kundli / Sonipat
Use the EPE for a more direct transfer to Yamuna Expressway.
Palwal
Use the EPE’s southern connection towards Greater Noida and the airport corridor.
Always follow live road signage once the interchange opens.

The Golden Pillar’s Local Perspective
Infrastructure should be evaluated from a property-access perspective.
- Which road connects the property to the expressway?
- How far is the practical entry point?
- Is the road operational?
- What is the approved land use?
- Is the property authority-wise clear?
- What exists today versus what is proposed?
A property should not be valued only because a future road appears on a map.
