Presently, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has undertaken several infrastructure projects which are specifically designed to strengthen the connectivity across the country.
With these initiatives, they are expecting to significantly improve inter-city travel efficiency further boosting the economic development in the region.
They have commenced the development of Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway under this initiative.
Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway – Travel Time Reduced To 30 Minutes
With the construction of this 63-km-long Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway project, they are expecting to reduce travel time to around 30 minutes – down from the current 1.5 hours to 3 hours.
For the construction of this project they have estimated a cost of more than Rs 4200 crore which will be used in designing a modern, access-controlled corridor, this expressway will ease traffic congestion on existing routes, improve road safety and lower fuel consumption.
Moving ahead, this Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway will also be connected to the Ganga Expressway.
Giving A Big Boost To Economy
This way, it is going to help in reducing both the distance and travel time for journeys toward both eastern and western UP.
Besides this, the Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway will also have a major impact on the regional economy.
It would also benefit the farmers, students, businesses and industries by enhancing access to markets, education, healthcare and employment, reinforcing its role as a catalyst for development in Uttar Pradesh.
The expressway will enable quicker and more reliable access to universities, colleges, coaching centres, and healthcare facilities, encouraging academic mobility and regional growth for the students and institutions.
It won’t be an exaggeration to say that this road project will play a transformative role between two major economic and educational hubs of Uttar Pradesh.
While describing the Lucknow–Kanpur Expressway, the NHAI said that this is a future-ready infrastructure project that has addressed complex development challenges.
And why not as this project has been built using advanced engineering solutions that include multiple vehicular and pedestrian underpasses, box culverts, reinforced soil (RS) walls and well-planned interchanges to ensure smooth traffic flow, safe crossings and effective drainage.
