Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will inaugurate the 11-km long Kisan Path, a part of the ambitious 104-km Outer Ring Road project, next month.
The construction work of Outer Ring Road is going on at a fast pace. The entire stretch will be free of traffic signals and crossings which will ensure that no traffic congestion takes place. After the construction work is completed, the government plans to set up a new township here.
“About 80% of the Outer Ring Road will be completed by December 2021 and by May 2022, the general public will get its benefits,” a senior official said.
Outer Ring Road will solve the problem of traffic congestion in the city as heavy vehicles will no longer be required to enter Lucknow.
Heavy vehicles will be able to reach Sitapur Road from Sultanpur Road via Ayodhya Road and Kursi Road without any traffic jam. Vehicles from Gorakhpur and Ayodhya will move to Sultanpur, Varanasi without entering the city.
The 104-km long road will start and end at Kursi Road and is being constructed at the cost of Rs 5,500 crore. It will connect the city with five national, six state highways and104 villages.
The Outer Ring Road will go from Bakshi-ka-Talab to Kanpur Road, enclosing the entire city. PWD and Setu Nigam have completed the 11-km long Kisan Path costing around Rs 280 crore. Once the Kisan Path is completed, heavy vehicles carrying material used in the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya will get an easy route. Vehicles carrying goods in heavy vehicles will reach Sultanpur Road in 15 minutes from Ayodhya highway via Kisan Path. Currently, it takes 45 minutes to reach here via Shaheed Path. Visiting Ram Temple in Ayodhya will also become easier for devotees.
After the Outer Ring Road is ready, traffic on Shaheed Path will be reduced by up to 30%. The project will also open a new path of development for villages.
