New Delhi, Oct.
3: The Network Planning Group (NPG) constituted under the institutional framework of ‘PM GatiShakti’ has recommended three important road connectivity projects.
These are the construction of a four-lane highway linking Gazipur to Ballia in Uttar Pradesh which is close to the border with Bihar.
The new road will greatly improve the connectivity in eastern U.P.
and make travel to Bihar smooth.
The other two major projects include improvement and up-grade of the existing road from two-lane to four–lane in western Uttar Pradesh and bypasses connecting UP and Uttarakhand.
All three projects are important for the improvement and upgrade of the roadways in view of multi-modality, easier commute, and land acquisition.
The construction of the new road projects were approved after thorough discussions at the meeting.
The four-lane highway will connect the economic centers of Lucknow, Varanasi, Azamgarh and Mau cities.
This will ensure the shortest connectivity from south Bihar to Delhi.
At Buxer a bridge on river Ganga is being constructed with spur, which will enhance the connectivity of south Bihar to Delhi.
