Second longest expressway galore in Uttar Pradesh

Uttar Pradesh will have the second longest expressway in the country from Meerut in the west to Allahabad in the east called the Ganga expressway by the end of 2024 covering a distance of nearly six hundred kilometers

Ganga Expressway is the second in terms of length in the country after the longest the Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway. But once the 1500 kilometer Delhi Mumbai expressway is commissioned, that will be the longest expressway in the country.

Currently, Uttar Pradesh has the highest number of expressways in the country with six in operation and seven under construction. Most of these Expressway were constructed in the last eight years. The most ambitious project is the Ganga Expressway with a proposed length of 594 kilometers.

Recently, the chief minister, in a meeting with officials of the executing agency UPEIDA, has given directions to make the much-anticipated Ganga Expressway operational by the end of 2024 under any circumstances given the Mahakumbh in 2025, officials were quoted by media reports. The expressway is being built on 7467 hectares of land at an estimated cost of Rs 36,230 crore.

The Ganga Expressway will initially have six lanes, with a proposal to later expand it to eight lanes. Its design allows for a speed of 120 kilometers per hour. Along the expressway, 9 public amenities complexes will be developed at various locations for public convenience. Main toll plazas are planned at two locations Meerut and Allahabad, while ramp toll plazas are proposed at 15 locations.
