Uttar Pradesh government is planning to invest nearly Rs 50,000 crore in seven new expressway projects in the next 2-3 years. This will connect about 30 districts to the vast expressway network in the state. The combined length of these expressways is 866 km, connecting areas with Lucknow-State Capital Region and the Delhi NCR. At present, UP accounts for the largest network of expressways in India, either operational or under construction.
