Lucknow. A big relief and good news has come for the people of Uttar Pradesh. The Ganga Expressway connecting Meerut to Prayagraj is now almost ready and will soon be opened to the general public. This 594 kilometer long expressway is going to give new heights to the connectivity of the state. It is believed that it may be inaugurated between April or May.
Travel time will be halved, huge time saving
After the commencement of Ganga Expressway, the biggest benefit to the passengers will be in the form of time saving. Currently it takes 11 to 12 hours to cover the distance from Meerut to Prayagraj, but through this expressway the same journey can be completed in just 6 to 8 hours. This will not only provide relief to the common people, but will also promote trade and tourism.
Hi-tech and safe travel
This expressway has been prepared with modern technology. Hi-tech cameras have been installed on the entire route, due to which the security system will remain strong. Apart from this, about 3.5 km long airstrip has been built near Shahjahanpur, where planes can be landed in case of emergency. This facility makes it special among the selected expressways of the country.
Expansion from 6 lanes to 8 lanes
Ganga Expressway is currently designed with 6 lanes, but there are plans to expand it to 8 lanes in future. Its design is such that the vehicle can move at high speed without any interruption, making long distance travel easy and comfortable.
Many districts will get direct benefits
This expressway will pass through many major districts of Uttar Pradesh, thereby reducing the distance between western and eastern UP. Also, hundreds of villages will be directly connected to the main road, which will create new opportunities for development and employment in rural areas.
State’s economy will get a boost
Ganga Expressway is not just a road project, but it can become an important basis for the economic progress of the state. Better connectivity will strengthen the industry, trade and logistics sector, which will benefit the entire state.
