Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway: There is a relief news for those traveling by road between Lucknow-Kanpur. In the last two years, 75 percent construction work of elevated road and green field route has been completed. The expressway being built on Lucknow-Kanpur route will be ready four months before the scheduled time. In this regard, in the recent meeting of officers of National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the construction agency has been given a target to complete the construction work by March 2025 instead of the deadline of July 2025. To reduce vehicular traffic on the main road, Lucknow Kanpur Expressway will be connected to Lucknow Ring Road. Starting from Shaheed Path in Lucknow, this expressway will connect Nawabganj to Kanpur via Banthra, Bani, Datauli Kantha, Taura, Nayorana, Amarsas and Rawal roads.
18 km elevated, 45 km green field route
A total of 18 kilometer elevated route is being built in the 63 kilometer long Lucknow Kanpur Expressway. A new route is being prepared on the remaining 45 km green field. Under this project, the construction work of three big bridges, 28 small bridges, 38 underpasses and six flyovers is going on at a fast pace.
Rs 4700 crore will be spent on construction work
This entire project is being built under Bharatmala Project. The total estimated cost of this will be Rs 4700 crore. Girders are being made using special technology for the elevated road. This road is being built on the lines of National Highway 25 for about three and a half kilometers.
Vehicles will be able to run at a speed of 120 km per hour
A 45 km long 6 lane road will be built from Bani to Unnao. Vehicles will be able to run at a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour on the expressway. The commencement of the plan to build the expressway will give impetus to industrial development in this area.
