It is India’s largest 302 Km access controlled Greenfield expressway. The entire length of the project road is of flexible pavement type. This Expressway Project has been developed on EPC mode with Government funding.

The Yamuna Expressway & Agra-Lucknow Expressway network starting from Noida area to Lucknow city provides seamless travel between State Capital and National Capital.

The Authority is developing another 6 Lane Access Controlled Green Field Expressway “The Purvanchal Expressway” in EPC Mode, which will connect to outer Ring Road in Lucknow which in turn will be connected to “Agra-Lucknow Access Controlled Expressway (Green Field) Project” at Lucknow. This Expressway project shall create immense opportunities to the people of eastern region of the State and over all development of the State by providing high speed connectivity between East & West borders of the State and with national capital.

The construction for ‘Purvanchal Expressway’, ‘Bundelkand Expressway’ & ‘Gorakpur Link Expressway’ projects are in progress & these Expressways are expected to be ready by 2020, 2022 & 2022 respectively.

The Uttar Pradesh Government has decided to develop the “Ganga Expressway Project”. UPEIDA is committed for the development of this expressway and has Entrusted M/s L N Malviya Infra Projects Pvt. Ltd., Highway Engineering Consultant and Intratech Civil Solutions (Consortium) to carry out the detailed project report to implement the project on EPC Mode and selection of developers through competitive bidding process.

The project will provide direct high speed connectivity from National Capital Region through proposed expressway to Meerut and then onwards to Prayagraj. It will facilitate construction of all-weather high speed access controlled expressway, which will decongest the increasing traffic on existing road network. The expressway will also decrease travel time substantially.
