The name of this expressway is Ganga Expressway. It has been termed as Green Expressway. Its total length is 594 kilometers.
This expressway will increase connectivity between the cities of Eastern UP and Western Uttar Pradesh. It is being told that considering the speed with which work is being done on it, its construction will be completed before 2025 Mahakumbh to be held in Prayagraj.
