6 Lanes, 600 km, 6 Hours: Ganga Expressway, Where You Can Drive At 120 kmph

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 594-km Ganga Expressway on Wednesday. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was also present on the occasion. Built at an estimated cost of about Rs 36,230 crore, Ganga Expressway is Uttar Pradesh’s longest expressway and one of India’s biggest greenfield road projects. The six-lane access-controlled corridor, expandable to eight lanes, links Meerut to Prayagraj across 12 districts. It also comes with a much larger ambition — to function not just as a road, but as an industrial, logistics and development corridor.
