The much-awaited 6-lane Purvanchal expressway in Uttar Pradesh connecting Lucknow, Azamgarh and Ballia is expected to be opened for the pubic by 2020, ANI has reported.
In order to ensure timely completion of the 340 KM long road, the Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has instructed officials to adhere to the timeline.
It also warned that strict action would be taken against officials in case of negligence. UPEIDA would also launch a mobile app which can be used to track the progress of the project.
So far 23 underpasses and 215 box clusters have been constructed along the stretch of the road.
The Yogi Adityanath led state government had earlier brought forward the deadline for the project and extended the expressway up to Ballia on the border with Bihar.
This extension added around 60 to 80 km to the expressway which was originally planned to link state capital Lucknow with Ghazipur, passing through Barabanki, Faizabad, Amethi, Sultanpur, Azamgarh and Mau.
