India’s Longest Expressway Connecting Agra-Lucknow Open For Public

The Agra-Lucknow expressway is expected to reduce travel time between Delhi and Lucknow to five hours.

India’s longest expressway running 302 km and connecting Agra and Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh is now open for public. The state Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, and his father Mulayam Singh Yadav, inaugurated the expressway on Monday in a show of unity ahead of the state elections in 2017.

Eight fighter jets of the Indian Air Force (IAF) touched down the expressway at Unnao – around 50 km from Lucknow.
