The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will build six underpasses and one flyover on the Lucknow-Ayodhya NH-27 highway as part of a Rs 442.61 crore project to reduce traffic jams and improve safety for travelers.
Under this plan, a flyover is scheduled to be constructed at Safedabad in Barabanki. Additionally, proposals outline underpasses at locations including Dadra, Bhitariya, Ranimau, Kudha Sadat, Bhelsar, Satti Chauraha, and Arkuna.
The upgrade project is being implemented to address heavy traffic congestion and increased travel times caused by a surge of devotees traveling to Ayodhya for 'darshan' at the Ram Temple, especially during festivals and religious events.
