In a major infrastructure push, the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet has approved the 49-kilometre-long, 6-lane Lucknow Link Expressway, a ₹4,776 crore greenfield project that will connect two of the state's key high-speed corridors — the Agra-Lucknow Expressway and the Purvanchal Expressway — via Mohan and Mohanlalganj. 

The upcoming expressway aims to significantly improve connectivity and reduce travel time across central and eastern Uttar Pradesh. Once completed, it will provide a seamless link between western and eastern regions of the state through Lucknow, enhancing accessibility and boosting regional trade and mobility.

Key Features of the Project:

Total length: 49 kilometers

Estimated cost: ₹4,776 crore

Design: 6-lane access-controlled greenfield expressway

Alignment: Connects Mohan (on Agra-Lucknow Expressway) to Mohanlalganj (on Purvanchal Expressway)

Part of UP’s 2030 Expressway Vision

The Lucknow Link Expressway is part of the state government’s broader plan to add 866 kilometers of expressways by 2030, strengthening Uttar Pradesh’s position as India’s expressway capital. The expressway will play a pivotal role in reducing congestion within Lucknow city while accelerating industrial and urban development in surrounding areas.

The government envisions Lucknow emerging as a central hub in the expressway ecosystem, acting as a vital junction between multiple economic corridors.

Boost to Economy and Connectivity

The new expressway is expected to:

Enable faster inter-city movement

Promote logistics and freight efficiency

Spur investment in the real estate and industrial sectors

Improve job opportunities in construction and allied services

With this addition, Uttar Pradesh continues to position itself as a leader in modern road infrastructure under its vision of “Expressway for Every Region”. The state currently boasts of several mega expressways, including the Ganga Expressway, Bundelkhand Expressway, and Gorakhpur Link Expressway, among others.
