Uttar Pradesh Approves 91-km Link Expressway Connecting Farrukhabad to Ganga Expressway

The Uttar Pradesh cabinet has approved the construction of a 91-km six-lane link expressway connecting Farrukhabad to the Ganga Expressway.

The project, with an estimated cost of Rs 7,489 crore, will link Kudrail in Etawah to Sawayajpur in Hardoi, significantly improving connectivity across central Uttar Pradesh.

Officials highlighted that the expressway will pass through Farrukhabad and Mainpuri districts and provide faster access to religious sites like Sankissa, an important Buddhist pilgrimage destination.

The expressway is designed to connect smaller cities and towns directly to the Ganga Expressway, the state’s flagship 594-km corridor linking Meerut to Prayagraj.

According to the state government, the new link will reduce travel time, improve logistics, and open up investment opportunities in the region.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the project demonstrates Uttar Pradesh’s commitment to infrastructure-led growth, adding that it will benefit local economies, tourism, and industrial development.
