Yamuna Expressway is a 6-lane wide (expandable to 8) and 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 expressway saw an investment 12,839 crore (US$1.5 billion) and was inaugurated on 9 August 2012 by then Chief Minister of UP Akhilesh Yadav.[1][2] A total of 13 service roads of about 168 km were built for local commuters to access the expressway.[3][unreliable source?] Yamuna Expressway is connected with Eastern Peripheral Expressway via an interchange which is built at Jaganpur Afzalpur village near Noida International University in Gautam Buddh Nagar district.[4]
