Aiming to give fillip to infrastructure development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of the much-hyped Ganga Expressway at Shahjahanpur on Saturday.
Last month, the prime minister inaugurated the Purvanchal Expressway and on January 4, he is scheduled to inaugurate the Bundelkhand Expressway.
The 594-km-long six-lane Ganga Expressway will be built at a cost of over Rs 36,200 crore. Starting near Bijauli village in Meerut, the expressway will extend till Judapur Dandu village of Prayagraj, meandering through Meerut, Hapur, Bulandshahr, Amroha, Sambhal, Budaun, Shahjahanpur, Hardoi, Unnao, Rae Bareli, Pratapgarh, and Prayagraj.
