6-lane link between Lko-Agra and Purvanchal e-ways soon
The state govt on Thursday gave its approval to UPEIDA (Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority) to proceed with the construction of the 50-km long six-lane link expressway connecting the Lucknow- Agra Expressway near Mohan Road in the city to the Purvanchal Expressway in Gosainganj.
A budget of Rs 4,776 crore is required to undertake the greenfield access control project that will connect the carriageways of the two existing expressways.
To create additional linkages and provide an increased catchment area for vehicle owners using the Agra-Lucknow Expressway, UPEIDA will create entry and exit ramps. These ramps will facilitate traffic movement between the upcoming link expressway and Kanpur and Rae Bareli Roads. Officials said those bound for Prayagraj, Fatehpur, Rae Bareli, Amethi, Sultanpur, Kanpur, and Unnao will not have to negotiate city traffic to access the Lucknow-Kanpur and Lucknow–Rae Bareli-Prayagraj national highways.
"Also, congestion at Avadh Hospital Chauraha, Singarnagar, Krishnanagar and Barabirwa will decrease substantially," the officer further said.
