The upcoming six-lane road will improve connectivity in several districts of Uttar Pradesh and reduce congestion on other arterial roads.

Six-Lane Corridor To Connect West And East UP

The preliminary work for the construction of the six-lane road has started with the department marking land with a width of 60-80 metres. According to the plan, the six-lane corridor will begin from the western side of Uttar Pradesh and stretch towards the east, crossing the Prayagraj-Ayodhya Highway near Kurebhar. The road will cut through 50 villages in Sadar tehsil, 14 villages in Baldirai, and 3 villages in Jaisinghpur.

In addition to this, a service road, four railway overbridges (including one in Pratapgarh and three in Sultanpur), and three major bridges (over the Sai River in Pratapgarh, the Gomti River in Sultanpur, and the Sharda Canal in Kurebhar) will be constructed along the proposed six-lane route.
