Expansion
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Friday approved the development of 8 national high-speed access control corridor projects. These include three high-speed road corridors in UP. These include Agra-Gwalior (six lanes), Kanpur Ring Road Corridor (six lanes) and Ayodhya Ring Road Corridor (four lanes). CM Yogi has thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this gift given to UP. He said that this will accelerate the development of infrastructure along with connectivity.
Tourism will gain momentum in Ayodhya
The 68-km-long four-lane access control ring road in Ayodhya will be constructed in Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM). It costs Rs 3,935 crore. The ring road will ease congestion on national highways passing through the city such as NH 27 (East West Corridor), NH 227A, NH 227B.
NH 330, NH 330-A, and NH 135-A will facilitate faster movement of pilgrims visiting Ram Mandir. The ring road will also provide seamless connectivity to national and international tourists arriving from Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport in Lucknow, Ayodhya Airport and major railway stations of the city.
The ring road will decongest Ayodhya by diverting long-distance traffic of the north-eastern corridors and other NHs outside the city. This will contribute to increasing the logistics efficiency of the nation.
