The road distance from Lucknow to Kanpur is 93 km, whereas the flying distance is 77 km. At the moment, commuters use the road, train, and air to go from Lucknow to Kanpur.
When Will It Be Completed?
Currently under development and scheduled to be finished by 2025, the Kanpur-Lucknow motorway is a huge undertaking. This expressway will also lessen city traffic congestion, enhance connectivity, spur investment growth, and promote infrastructure development, all of which will help the state’s economy.
