Recently, Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed the Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) to expedite the construction of the Ganga Expressway.

CM Yogi also emphasised the urgency of making the Ganga Expressway operational by December 31, 2024, considering the upcoming Mahakumbh.

The Ganga Expressway has a projected length of 594 kilometers.

It is the second-longest expressway in the country, following the Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway.

The expressway is designed to redefine travel efficiency and stimulate economic growth across its vast corridor.

The Ganga Expressway connects the state from east to west, and will traverse 518 villages across 12 districts, significantly reducing travel time between Meerut and Prayagraj.

It is designed to accommodate six lanes initially, expandable to eight lanes, boasting a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
