National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has launched another new expressway in UP— ‘Atal Expressway’ The detailed plan of construction has been officially approved. This new expressway, directly connecting Kanpur and surrounding industrial areas, will take the state’s logistics, connectivity and business transportation to a new level.

The road from Kanpur to Bundelkhand and Madhya Pradesh will be easy

This new Atal Expressway approved by NHAI will directly connect the transport network of the industrial city of Kanpur with other main economic corridors of the country:

• Routes and Connectivity: This expressway will move through Kanpur and Etawah and touch the borders of Chambal region and Madhya Pradesh, which will give unprecedented speed to the interstate trade between Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

• Huge time savings: With the commissioning of this high-speed corridor, the travel time of heavy goods vehicles and passengers will be reduced to less than half, which will lead to huge savings in both fuel and time.

Industrialization and defense corridor will get a new boost

There are big centers of defense manufacturing (Defense Corridor) and leather industry in Kanpur and surrounding districts. In such a situation, the construction of this new expressway will provide the following benefits:

1. Development of Industrial Clusters: New industrial parks, logistics hubs and warehousing clusters will be developed on both sides of the expressway.

2. New employment opportunities: From the beginning of the construction work till its completion, thousands of new employment opportunities will be created directly and indirectly for the local youth.

3. Relief to commuter traffic: The passengers of Kanpur, Unnao and surrounding cities will get freedom forever from the heavy traffic jams on the national highways.

Land acquisition and construction process will speed up

According to NHAI officials, the detailed project report (DPR) of the project is being prepared. The process of land acquisition will be started soon with the cooperation of the local administration, so that the construction work can be completed within the stipulated time and dedicated to the public.
