Passengers traveling to Kanpur have received some relief as train operations gradually resume despite the ongoing mega block due to repair work on the Kanpur Ganga Bridge. A large number of trains were affected by the repair work, but from April 2, several trains have started running via Kanpur, reducing travel time for passengers.
From April 2 to April 30, 12179 Lucknow Junction - Agra Fort Express will operate via the Kanpur route instead of the diverted route through Lucknow Junction- Shahjahanpur- Kasganj- Mathura Junction- Agra Fort.
Similarly, 12180 Agra Fort-Lucknow Junction Express, running from Agra Fort during the same period, will follow the Kanpur route instead of the previous diversion through Agra Fort-Mathura Junction-Kasganj-Shahjahanpur-Lucknow Junction.
Chief Public Relations Officer Pankaj Kumar Singh stated that engineering work is being carried out on bridge number 110 between Kanpur Bridge Left Bank and Kanpur Central under the Lucknow Division of Northern Railway.
