Lucknow. A very good news has come for the people of Bundelkhand and Awadh region of Uttar Pradesh. People suffering from prolonged jams, narrow roads and heavy vehicles can get relief soon. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has taken a big step towards making the Banda-Tanda road four lane. For this, a detailed project has been prepared at a cost of about Rs 6500 crore and sent to the government.
Let us tell you that this important road of UP connects six districts including Banda, Fatehpur, Rae Bareli, Amethi, Sultanpur and Ambedkar Nagar. With the widening of the road, lakhs of people are expected to get the facility of fast, safe and easy travel.
Travel will become easier with construction of four lanes
NHAI believes that after the road becomes four-lane, travel time will be reduced and traffic will become more safe. With reduction in road accidents, business activities will also gain new momentum. Local people say that this project will give a new direction to the development of the area and employment opportunities will also increase.
Bypass will be built in Bahua and Shah town
NHAI has also prepared a proposal for construction of bypass in Bahua and Shah towns in view of the increasing population and traffic pressure. This will provide relief from traffic jams within the towns and heavy vehicles will be able to pass directly through the bypass. This step will ease the movement of local people and will also reduce traffic pressure in the markets.
Divider will be built on 300 kilometer route
A plan has also been prepared to install dividers on the entire 300 km long route. Its purpose is to keep the vehicles controlled in the right direction and reduce accidents. Construction of divider is expected to reduce the incidents of head-on collision.
New bridge and flyover also proposed
There are preparations to build a second railway overbridge near the existing ROB in Fatehpur bypass, so that the movement of vehicles can continue without any stoppage. A proposal has also been sent to build a flyover on Lucknow bypass, so that vehicles coming from Banda-Tanda route can easily board the Kanpur-Prayagraj highway. Apart from this, a plan has also been prepared for construction of new bridges on Yamuna river in Benda village of Banda and Ganga river in Asni village of Fatehpur.
Work will start as soon as approval is received
According to NHAI officials, the project proposal has been sent to the government. As soon as the approval is received, the work of road widening, bridge, flyover and bypass construction will be started. People hope that this project will change the traffic and development picture of the area.
