Package-3 of the Purvanchal Expressway is a 41.7km long section of the 340.82km long expressway. The scheduled completion for this project is October’21, but it is likely to be completed earlier, despite the fact that work has slowed down due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Once completed, the Expressway will give faster modes of transportation to the backward regions of the State and also boost its agriculture, commerce, tourism, and other industrial developments.

In India, roads are the most important mode of transportation and there is an immense demand for expressways for economic and business growth of our country. India has a network of over 5,897,671 kilometres of roads as of 31 March 2017 – the second-largest road network in the world after the United States with 6,645,709 kilometres(1).
