India’s Ganga Expressway, linking Meerut in western Uttar Pradesh with Prayagraj in the east, is expected to open on April 29.
The expressway spans 594 kilometers (369 miles) and runs through Hapur, Bulandshahr, Amroha, Sambhal, Budaun, Shahjahanpur, Hardoi, Unnao, Rae Bareli and Pratapgarh before connecting Meerut and Prayagraj. Prime Minister Modi is expected to attend the opening ceremony in Hardoi.
Officials expect the new route to enable faster and safer travel. Improved connectivity is also expected to cut logistics costs, strengthen supply chains for fresh goods such as agricultural products, boost tourism and attract more investment, supporting growth in both rural and urban areas.
Uttar Pradesh has been pushing ahead with expressway development.
