The primary road construction of the ambitious Ganga Expressway project has been finalized. Complementary elements such as service roads, toll plazas, landscaping, informational displays, street lighting, and the installation of cameras at one-kilometer intervals are either finished or nearing completion. While rainfall temporarily disrupted the construction of service lanes, work has since recommenced.
During a Saturday inspection, Prayagraj District Magistrate Manish Kumar Verma mandated the completion of all remaining works by November 2, 2025. Spanning 594 kilometers from Meerut to Prayagraj, this expressway will improve connectivity between eastern and western Uttar Pradesh. The project, costing approximately Rs 36,000 crore, will serve 12 districts within the state.
DM Verma conducted a site assessment at the expressway’s commencement point in Judhapur Dandu village, Prayagraj, and reviewed the physical progress, traffic management strategies, and roadmaps. Construction officials reported the project’s division into four groups, with Group 4 covering 15.2 kilometers in Prayagraj district. The expressway is being constructed with six lanes, with the core infrastructure engineered for eight lanes to accommodate future expansion.
