Ganga Expressway Inauguration: Uttar Pradesh's longest and most awaited infrastructure project - Ganga Expressway - has been formally opened to the public from today. This approximately 594 km long expressway has the potential to completely change the map of travel, trade and pilgrimage by directly connecting western and eastern Uttar Pradesh. With the inauguration, traffic movement has started on this corridor, due to which the distance between Delhi-NCR and Prayagraj can now be covered in much less time than before.

The biggest impact of the new connectivity will be on the passengers of Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Baghpat and Haryana. According to officials, now devotees and common travelers can leave Delhi-NCR in the morning and reach Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj and return on the same day. Earlier this journey was considered tedious and time consuming, but the new expressway has turned it into a practical “one-day journey”. Whereas earlier the journey to Prayagraj was synonymous with hours of fatigue and long journey, now it is considered possible as a “single day trip”.

The two interchanges built in Hapur district make this entire project more important. These interchanges will not only ease the access for the local people but will also play the role of major gateway for the commuters coming from Delhi-NCR and Western UP. Experts believe that this will also reduce regional traffic pressure.

With increased connectivity, investment, employment and industrial activities are expected to accelerate. This corridor can transform western UP into a new industrial hub.
