If you regularly travel between Kanpur and Lucknow, here’s some great news. The upcoming Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway, an eight-lane highway, is set to open this year. Spanning 63 kilometres, it will drastically cut travel time between the two cities from three hours to just 35-45 minutes.
According to reports, this expressway will start at Nawabganj in Kanpur and connect to Shaheed Path in Lucknow, passing through areas like Banthra, Bani, Datouli Kantha, Taura, Nyaurana, Amarsas, and Rawal Marg. To ensure a smooth journey, it will include three major bridges, 28 small bridges, 38 underpasses, and six flyovers. The project is being developed for INR 4,700 crore and is designed to make travel more convenient while boosting tourism and economic activities in the region.
