UP to Get 7 Expressways: Rs 500 Bn Project to Span 866 km, 56 Districts
The Uttar Pradesh government has planned the development of seven new expressways to improve road connectivity and boost economic growth across the state. The combined length of these expressways will be 866 kilometre, covering 56 districts. The total estimated investment for the project is Rs 500 billion, with construction expected to take place over the next two to three years.
These expressways aim to strengthen transportation networks and facilitate smoother movement of goods and passengers, particularly between Lucknow and the Delhi-NCR region. The project is expected to reduce travel time, support industrial development, and enhance logistics efficiency.
The planned expressways include: • Chitrakoot Link Expressway – 120 km • Jhansi Link Expressway – 100 km • Jewar Link Expressway – 76 km • Vindhya Expressway – 320 km • Vindhya-Purvanchal Link Expressway – 100 km • Lucknow Link Expressway – 50 km • Agra-Lucknow Expressway to Ganga Expressway Link – 90 km
With this initiative, the state aims to improve intra-state and inter-state connectivity, particularly in regions with limited access to high-speed road infrastructure. The project is also expected to contribute to economic development by attracting investments, boosting trade, and creating employment opportunities.
These expressways will further integrate Uttar Pradesh into the broader national road network, ensuring faster transit for commercial and passenger vehicles. The investment aligns with the state’s long-term infrastructure goals, aiming to enhance overall connectivity and development.
