Yamuna Expressway has been in the news for more than a decade. A sporadic project here and another there, that's what the progress in the initial years looked like. As the Jewar airport turned out to be a never-ending wait, much of the progress turned out to be at a standstill. However, things started changing in the last few years. As the bid for the airport was finalised, the prospects of the region started to climb upwards. Once the construction gathered pace, the trajectory rose sharply. Now that operations are expected to commence shortly, the momentum has accelerated phenomenally.
