When it opened and where it goes

UPEIDA records the inauguration of the Purvanchal Expressway on 16 November 2021. Its project page gives a length of 340.824 km, a six-lane access-controlled design, and an alignment between the Lucknow area and Haidaria in Ghazipur. It opened during Yogi Adityanath's first term as Chief Minister; this was an inauguration, not just a foundation ceremony. S01

How it connects the region

The route adds an eastward connection to the state expressway network. UPEIDA describes linking the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh with Lucknow and onward connections. That tells us how the road connects places, but doesn't prove that every nearby household became better off. S01

Who built it

This is a state-government expressway implemented by UPEIDA. The official page records construction contracts taking effect in 2018 and inauguration by the Prime Minister in 2021. Political leadership, implementing agencies, engineers, contractors, workers, and land-related processes are distinct parts of that delivery story. S01

Before you travel

For a present-day journey, verify current tolls, access rules, traffic advisories and road conditions with the operating authority. A historical inauguration page is not a live travel service.
