Minor traffic diversions are expected to be implemented on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway on that day. The traffic police will draw up a plan once the visit schedule is formalised, said the people cited above.

The complex offers better connectivity to different sectors and adjoining areas, the people cited above said.

The new office is expected to improve public service delivery by bringing all departments of the Authority under one roof, making it easier for residents to access services, they added.

Notably, the departments currently operate from multiple locations, including the main administrative office in sectors 6, 39, 19 and 20.

“The construction of the new headquarters began on January 5, 2016, with a deadline of January 2, 2019. However, the work was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and contractor defaults,” said SP Singh, general manager, Noida authority in a statement on Wednesday.

The administrative office in Sector 6 has a paucity of space and lacks dedicated parking facilities, said officials. As a result, visitors often park vehicles along the road, leading to traffic congestion in the area, they said.
