Lucknow Kanpur expressway opens Monday reduces travel to 40 minutes
India
Traveling between Lucknow and Kanpur just got way easier. The new 63-km expressway, opening Monday, will shrink the trip from nearly three hours to about 40 minutes.
Big names like Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, and Yogi Adityanath are set to launch this six-lane route.
Expressway introduces India's 1st barrier-free tolls
About one-third of it is elevated; it links up with three other major expressways, and there is room to expand later.
It also brings India's first barrier-free toll system with contactless payments at four points, so you will not have to stop for toll booths.
Built using advanced tech for ₹4,700 crore, it supports speeds up to 120km/h and is expected to ease traffic jams and boost business between the two cities across Uttar Pradesh.
