The Road Transport Ministry of Union Government has sanctioned Rs 1470.93 crore to make the Prayagraj-Lucknow highway four lane between Prayagraj and Rae Bareli. The highway is already four lane between Rae Bareli and Lucknow. After completion of this project before Mahakumbh 2025, vehicles will take lesser time to reach their destination using this highway.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari informed on X that the budget had been sanctioned for the above project and asked the officials to see that the road widening between Prayagraj and Rae Bareli is done before Mahakumbh 2025.
Officials have started preparing strategies for timely completion of this project and tenders will soon be floated to involve contractors.
