What’s inside:
This article provides updates on the new expressway connecting Yamuna and Ganga Expressways in Uttar Pradesh.
The work to connect the Yamuna Expressway and Ganga Expressway is picking up speed. The Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEDA) is working on three designs for this new 74.3 km expressway.
The government wants to create a road that promotes development and provides quick travel without disrupting existing roads. The plan includes making half of the expressway elevated and half at ground level.
This connection will make travel from Meerut to Prayagraj much easier. It will also provide direct access to Noida International Airport and quicker links to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Passengers from Agra, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, and Prayagraj will have a high-speed route to Greater Noida and the National Capital Region (NCR).
Key details include a total length of 74.3 kilometers and a width of 120 meters. The expressway will connect to the Ganga Expressway near Siyana in Bulandshahr and to the Yamuna Expressway near Film City. This will significantly reduce travel time from southern Delhi-NCR to eastern UP.
Preparations are moving quickly. The UPEDA team has inspected the area, and final design plans are nearly complete. Work on land acquisition might start next year, and this expressway is expected to improve connectivity across Uttar Pradesh.

- The expressway will be 74.3 km long and 120 meters wide.
