The Faridabad–Noida–Ghaziabad Expressway, also known as the FNG Expressway, is a 56 km under-construction expressway to boost road connectivity in the National Capital Region (NCR). The six-lane expressway, which is expandable to eight lanes, will connect Faridabad (Haryana) to Noida and Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh).
