The Ganga Expressway, set to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 29, is a transformative infrastructure project in Uttar Pradesh, spanning 594 kilometers and costing approximately ₹36,402 crore (roughly $4.4 billion USD). This expressway will create a direct high-speed corridor from Bijauli village in Meerut to Judapur Dandu village in Prayagraj, significantly reducing travel time from over 11 hours to just 6-7 hours. The expressway will directly benefit 12 districts and connect 519 villages, enhancing rural-urban connectivity and potentially accelerating development in these areas. The project features advanced AI-based toll collection systems designed to minimize stoppages, ensuring a smoother travel experience. Additionally, the expressway is expected to support agricultural logistics, tourism, and industrial growth, ultimately contributing to job creation and economic development. With this project, Uttar Pradesh aims to solidify its identity as an 'Expressway State', further increasing its share of the country's expressway network to nearly 60%.
