Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway Update:  Commuters who travel between Kanpur and Lucknow have good news awaiting them. An eight-lane Kanpur-Lucknow expressway is soon going to open to the public. It is anticipated that the Expressway will be accessible to the general public by 2025.

More than half of the expressway's work has been finished, according to media reports. It would improve connectivity throughout the state while connecting the cities of Kanpur and Lucknow. According to media reports, the elevated road has 75 percent of its work completed and the greenfield route is finished.

The expressway was originally scheduled to open in July 2025, but that date was changed. The project is currently scheduled to be finished by March 2025.

At the moment, the trip from Kanpur to Lucknow takes about three hours. However, after this new route is built, it will only take thirty to forty-five minutes.

About Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway Project

In 2025, the Kanpur-Lucknow expressway will be operational and accessible to the general public. It was originally intended to be a six-lane expressway. This entire route is 63 kilometres long. Nevertheless, it was upgraded later to include eight lanes on the expressway.

The project has been estimated to cost Rs 4,700 crore. In the state, it will increase tourism. At the same time, the expressway will shorten travel time. For commuters, it will make the trip more comfortable.

The Lucknow Ring Road will be connected to the route. The highway will start from Lucknow's Shaheed Path and travel to Kanpur's Nawabganj.

It will pass via Rawal Marg, Amarsas, Taura, Nyaurana, Datouli Kantha, Banthra, and Bani.

Three large bridges will be built in all. The motorway will also feature six flyovers, 38 underpasses, and 28 minor bridges.
