Lucknow proposes 14 km elevated road to ease congestion on Polytechnic–Kisan Path corridor

The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has proposed a 14-kilometre elevated road between Polytechnic Crossing and Kisan Path to ease traffic movement in the city.

According to officials, a detailed project report (DPR) has been submitted to the state government for approval. The estimated cost of the project is around Rs 2,219 crore, which includes land acquisition and utility shifting.

The proposed skyway will run parallel to Faizabad Road and is intended to reduce congestion for commuters travelling between the city centre and the outer areas.

Officials said the project has been designed to integrate with the existing road network and improve access to the upcoming townships and educational institutions along the corridor.

Once approved, the elevated road will be executed in multiple phases, and the LDA will coordinate with the Public Works Department (PWD) and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for implementation.
