Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated during a briefing that the 8.1-kilometre project will be developed at a total capital cost of ₹6,969.67 crore.
In Uttar Pradesh, the Cabinet also sanctioned the construction of the 117.7-kilometre four- to six-lane access-controlled Kanpur–Kabrai section of National Highway 34. The project has been estimated at a cost of ₹7,145.14 crore and is aimed at improving regional mobility and reducing travel time along a key corridor.
