UP Plans 76-km Expressway Linking Jewar Airport to Ganga E-way

Uttar Pradesh is set to enhance its infrastructure with a 76-km expressway linking Jewar Airport to the Ganga Expressway via Bulandshahr. The state government has allocated Rs 10 billion for the project, with an estimated total cost of Rs 44.15 billion. The expressway will connect to the Yamuna Expressway 24 km before reaching its destination, improving travel for residents of Meerut and Bulandshahr while also benefiting users of the Purvanchal and Bundelkhand Expressways.

The new link road will serve as a vital corridor, integrating multiple expressways across the state, including the Agra-Lucknow Expressway and the under-construction Farrukhabad Link Expressway. With increasing traffic on major highways, the state plans to develop 12 expressway hubs—four along the Bundelkhand Expressway and eight along the Purvanchal Expressway—with a budget allocation of Rs 720 million and Rs 1.44 billion, respectively.

Additionally, Rs 8 billion has been earmarked to strengthen the Agra-Lucknow Expressway, further boosting connectivity across Uttar Pradesh.
