Uttar Pradesh is set to receive another major road infrastructure upgrade with the upcoming inauguration of the Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway.
The six-lane access-controlled expressway, stretching nearly 63 km, is likely to be inaugurated on 24 May.
Officials said the project was initially expected to open earlier this year, but the launch timeline was later revised.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to inaugurate the expressway before it is opened for public use following final approvals.
The new corridor is being viewed as a major relief for commuters who regularly face heavy congestion on National Highway-27, the existing route connecting Lucknow and Kanpur.
Traffic bottlenecks, long delays, and overcrowding on the 94 km highway have remained a persistent challenge for years, especially during peak travel hours.
