There is good news for commuters in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, as a proposal to expand the Ganga Expressway to Haridwar via Muzaffarnagar has been approved for a survey.

During cabinet meeting at Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasized that Ganga Expressway will go from Prayagraj to Mirzapur to Bhadohi to Kashi, Chandauli and connect to the Purvanchal Expressway in Ghazipur. It will further connect Sonbhadra to the National Highway.

What’s The Update?

Talking about the project, UP Minister Kapil Dev Aggarwal said that the government will be conducting surveys to extend the expressway to Haridwar as well. He stated that if Haridwar is connected to Ganga Expressway, then Muzaffarnagar will also be connected.

“Along with this, the Ganga Expressway, which comes from Meerut to Prayagraj, has been agreed and approved in many districts of Purvanchal today. But as soon as we arrived, we requested the Chief Minister to connect it to Haridwar. If it connects to Haridwar, then Muzaffarnagar will definitely be connected to it, so the Chief Minister has given his approval on the spot. He has said that we will conduct a survey of it,” Kapil told ANI.

The Minister further explained that this step would enhance connectivity to Muzaffarnagar. It will benefit commuters of both Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. It will ease travel experience and provide better regional connectivity.

“Haridwar will connect with Muzaffarnagar and Prayagraj. After that, in many districts of Purvanchal, these two works have been done in a very good way within the cabinet for our department and for our district. Many thanks to the Chief Minister,” added the Minister.
