Lucknow Development Push: LDA Plans Rs 320 Crore Shaheed Path Flyover With Loops And Ramps To Ease Traffic Congestion

Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has unveiled a major infrastructure plan aimed at reducing chronic traffic congestion along Shaheed Path, the Hindustan Times reported.

As part of its Green Corridor Project, the authority has prepared a detailed project report for a 900-metre flyover, supported by loops and ramps, with a total estimated cost of Rs 320 crore.

The flyover itself is expected to cost around Rs 150 crore, while the loops measuring 700 metres and ramps of 300 metres will require an additional Rs 170 crore.

Together, these elevated structures are designed to form an integrated network, offering commuters direct connectivity between Pipraghat and Kisan Path and reducing the heavy burden on ground-level traffic.

The alignment will begin near Gate No. 6 of Janeshwar Mishra Park on the G20 road, extending towards Shaheed Path.

Through a series of interchanges, vehicles will be able to branch out seamlessly towards Kisan Path, Ekana Stadium, Arjunganj and adjoining areas along the Gomti river.

The project is expected to bring significant relief for daily commuters who currently face long queues, particularly during major events at Ekana Stadium.

Traffic snarls have become a regular challenge for office-goers, residents and intercity travellers using Shaheed Path, often leading to long detours and delays.

The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) will also undertake the restoration of the three deteriorating gates of the Chhota Imambara, with an estimated budget of Rs 6 crore under the Smart City project. The proposal was submitted before the LDA chairman and the divisional commissioner, Roshan Jacob.

Alongside this heritage effort, the LDA plans to beautify the Rifa-e-Aam Club by installing a boundary wall and upgrading its infrastructure, civil, horticultural, and lighting, at a cost of around Rs 5 crore.

Authorities have also instructed the preparation of proposals to upgrade the Gandhi Bhawan museum and fast-track land mobilisation for the Naimish Nagar and Varun Vihar development initiatives.
