Yamuna Expressway is a 6-lane (expandable to 8), 165.5 km (102.8 mi) long access-controlled expressway in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is presently India's sixth longest expressway and connects Greater Noida with Agra. It was built to de-congest the older Delhi–Agra national highway (NH-2) or Mathura Road. The Noida-Greater Noida Expressway feeds into the project. Built by Jaypee Infratech Ltd (JIL) on a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) basis, the company has the rights to collect for a period of 36 years, starting from its Commercial Operations Date (COD) on August 9, 2012 until the agreement expires, after which the expressway will be transferred to the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA). The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) region is being developed over an area of approximately 25,000 hectares along the Yamuna Expressway in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The region includes the Noida International Airport at Jewar which is under development and is planned to be one of the largest airports in India. The Noida International Airport located in Jewar of the Gautam Buddha Nagar District also lies on the side of the expressway, with it acting as the main connection to multiple cities. The expressway saw an investment ₹12,839 crore (US$1.3 billion) and was inaugurated on 9 August 2012 by then Chief Minister of UP Akhilesh Yadav. A total of 13 service roads of about 168 km were built for local commuters to access the expressway.
