The project was approved in a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. State Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta ‘Nandi’ informed that this new route will become an integral part of Uttar Pradesh’s developing expressway network, which will integrate existing and proposed corridors, such as Agra-Lucknow, Purvanchal, Ganga (under construction), Bundelkhand and Gorakhpur Link Expressways. This will make travel between major cities like Lucknow, Agra, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Varanasi and Ghazipur easier and faster.

He said that the project will also generate direct and indirect employment opportunities. The total length of the expressway will be 49.96 km and it will be constructed in six lanes, which can be expanded to eight lanes in future. This construction work will be done under the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) model.
