Uttar Pradesh to Build 700 km Expressway


Uttar Pradesh is set to embark on a transformative infrastructure project with the construction of a 700 km long greenfield expressway connecting Gorakhpur to Shamli. This ambitious expressway will significantly enhance road connectivity between the Purvanchal region in eastern Uttar Pradesh and the western parts of the state, making travel quicker and more efficient.

The new expressway is designed to reduce travel time between Gorakhpur and Shamli by several hours, facilitating smoother and faster transportation of goods and passengers across the region. This improved connectivity is expected to not only ease travel but also boost trade, commerce, and tourism in the state, linking key urban centers and rural areas more effectively.

The expressway will feature state-of-the-art road safety measures, wide lanes, and designated service areas, ensuring a high-quality driving experience. The project is part of the state government's broader plan to enhance regional connectivity and reduce travel time, benefiting residents, businesses, and tourists alike.

This development will also serve as a catalyst for economic growth in the Purvanchal and West UP regions, opening up new opportunities for industries and supporting existing businesses. The increased accessibility is expected to attract investments and improve the overall economic landscape of the state.

Scheduled to be completed in phases, the Gorakhpur-Shamli expressway aligns with Uttar Pradesh’s vision of modernizing its infrastructure and fostering regional integration. By enhancing the transportation network, the project will not only improve connectivity but also contribute to the socio-economic development of the entire state.
