Noida Police on Monday night closed the Yamuna Expressway for commuters amid a major lockdown across the country due to the coronavirus outbreak, officials said. Commuters will only be allowed passage on the Yamuna Expressway, a key high-speed multi-lane road connecting Delhi with Agra and further interior into Uttar Pradesh, if they have a "valid reason" for travelling, the officials said. "The Yamuna Expressway has been closed and barricaded. Those wanting passage will be allowed only if they have a valid reason. The expressway would remain open for emergency services," Deputy Commissioner of Police, Greater Noida, Rajesh Singh, said. The district police have also put restrictions on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, which connects road traffic with the Yamuna Expressway.
