What is the airstrip for?
Part of the carriageway in Shahjahanpur is built strong and straight enough for aircraft to land in an emergency. On 3.5 km of road, the IAF held drills on 2 May 2025.
How does Shahjahanpur connect to the expressway?
Mainly via the SH-29 interchange towards Shahjahanpur town and Farrukhabad. Shahjahanpur is in the middle of the route, so travel to either end is long; most value here comes from shorter trips to Bareilly, Hardoi and Lucknow.
What should buyers check here?
If a seller says a plot is “near the airstrip”, that is not an access point: aircraft use does not create an entry to the road. Judge access from the SH-29 interchange.
