The construction of the Ganga Expressway, which connects Meerut and Prayagraj, is nearing its final stages. Significant progress has been made, especially in the Hasanpur tehsil of the Amroha district, where the expressway is essentially complete. Currently, finishing touches are being applied, with the expectation that the route will be open to vehicles in the coming month. The 23.60 km stretch of expressway in Hasanpur was initially planned to be finished by October 12, 2025, but road construction and lighting are already done, and the drainage pipeline is in place. An overbridge and T-point have been constructed on the Hasanpur-Rahra road in Mangrola, accompanied by four toll plazas. Furthermore, the bridge over the Ganga River in Pandapur has been completed. Officials indicate that minor finishing work, delayed by rain, will be finalized within a month. The 594 km-long Ganga Expressway is anticipated to open in November, significantly reducing travel time between Meerut and Prayagraj. This will greatly benefit the residents of Amroha and provide convenient access for devotees traveling to the Tigri fair from Prayagraj and surrounding areas. Devotees from Meerut, Hapur, and Amroha will also find it easier to reach the Sangam for bathing. Additionally, the expressway will offer considerable relief to lawyers and litigants from western Uttar Pradesh, enabling them to travel to the Prayagraj High Court and return on the same day.
