The 135-km-long Eastern Peripheral Expressway envisages signal-free connectivity between Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Gautam Budh Nagar (Greater Noida) and Palwal. The Uttar Pradesh government had earlier informed the top court that work on a 25-km stretch of the under-construction Eastern Peripheral Expressway in Ghaziabad, which was stalled following protests by farmers, has resumed. Besides this, the construction work on the 135-km-long Western Peripheral Expressway, which connects Kundli to Palwal via Manesar in Haryana, is also going on.
The court, which has been hearing a 1985 plea, filed by environmentalist MC Mehta, on various issues including vehicular pollution, had asked the centre in 2005 to build a peripheral expressway around Delhi by July 2016, to decongest and de-pollute the national capital. The two expressways were planned in 2006, following the Supreme Court order to form a ring road outside Delhi, for channeling non-Delhi bound traffic, bypassing the national capital.
