As per reports, the concerned stakeholders have been asked to prepare detailed project reports for this 'green' and 'smart' initiative. Currently, the stretch of nearly 95 kilometres connecting the two cities via NH 27 witnesses a huge chunk of daily traffic which leads to repeated jams on this route. Now, this new expressway aims to solve such issues offering an easy and fast way of commute between the two prominent cities of Uttar Pradesh. Given the large scale of the multidimensional projects being introduced, it is being said that the state is undergoing a phase of 'Road Revolution'.
The higher authorities are making sure that no lags or obstacles hamper the execution of this project. In regards to this, the Minister has ordered the officials to assure a smooth and hastened initiation of the expressway works.
Reportedly, this expressway is being established at a cost of ₹4,700 crores. As per reports, the six-lane corridor will cover a stretch over 63 km and pass through the district of Unnao. As soon as the plans materialise, both cities will be guaranteed boosts in their paths of development.
