Scope of EOI

Strategic need for the Expressway

The “Ganga Expressway” has been conceived as a Greenfield Project to provide a critical high-speed road link between the agriculturally predominant areas of the State of Uttar Pradesh with a variety of agricultural and allied commodities production centres to the consumer centres in State Capitals, National Capital Region and other cities along the alignment of this Expressway. This Expressway would also provide faster connectivity to the vehicular traffic flowing between the Northern and eastern parts of the Country. The setting up of Industrial and Economic Corridors proposed alongside this Expressway will further prop up the vehicular traffic on the road. Thus, it is expected to boost the economy of the areas of the State alongside its alignment. Therefore, the State government has accorded a very high priority to this Project.
