India’s longest six-lane elevated road, 10.3 kilometres (km) in length, was inaugurated in Ghaziabad today (29 March) by Uttar Pradesh (UP) Chief Minister (CM) Yogi Adityanath, Dainik Jagran has reported.
The ‘Hindon Elevated Road’, connecting UP gate to Rajnagar Extension will reportedly allow people to travel from Ghaziabad to New Delhi in 15 minutes while also reducing the travel time between Meerut and Hapur.

As of now, only two and four-wheeler vehicles will be allowed on the road with the vehicles to ply the road at an average speed of 80 km per hour. The road has been built at a cost of Rs 1147 crore with the construction having begun November 2014.
The road is built on 227 single pillars and will be opened for commuters today with an estimated 4,000 vehicles using it every hour.
Former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav, however, sought to take credit for the road which was commissioned during his rein.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
