Opening of Agra-Lucknow expressway by CM Akhilesh Yadav

This is really a big moment for ruling SP government today. Eight fighter jets of the Indian Air Force (IAF) will touch down on India’s longest expressway as it opens to the public in Uttar Pradesh on Monday. Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and his father and Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav are opening the Agra-Lucknow Expressway at Unnao, around 50 km from Lucknow. The 302 km expressway was completed in a record 23 months. It is tipped to reduce travel time between Delhi and the Uttar Pradesh capital from nine hours to around five. It will offer a direct link to the Taj Mahal town of Agra from the Yamuna Expressway.
