The Expressway is access controlled with only entry/exit at Nodes (intersecting points of National Highway or State Highways or Major District Roads – crossing with the proposed Expressway Alignment), details of which has been described below.
Alignment & Structures
The expressway alignment is having 6 Lanes with Paved Shoulders Configuration with Service Roads, which is further expandable up to 8 Lanes. The alignment has been designed with the design speed of 120 km/h.

Node A is revised and treated as Dummy Node, as the Start Point of the Ganga Expressway has been changed from Node A to Node B due to Engineering Design Constraints, with prior approval of UPEIDA.
GANGA EXPRESSWAY: RIGHT OF WAY
ROW has been taken as total 120 m for the proposed expressway except at Interchange Locations, Toll Plaza locations and at locations for training on the course of nallah/drain, where the ROW varies.
ABUTTING LAND USE PATTERN
The land use pattern on the both sides of the expressway in maximum section is agricultural.
TERRAIN
The terrain of this stretch can be termed as plain and flat throughout.
FOREST
No forest land observed along the road. However, the alignment passes some stretches of Social Forestry.
ARCHEOLOGICAL/ANCIENT STRUCTURE
No such type of structure found along the project corridor.
