This appears to be a brownfield project considering that it involves sections of various NHs. For the same reason, the implementing agency must be NHAI. Am I right? Taj Expressway and Mumbai-Pune expressway were greenfield projects implemented by the state govts. without any involvement of centre. |

Yes, the alignment is the easiest when done parallel to existing highways. The family bastions just happen to be on the route. Fortuitous indeed. Point 4 above covers Azamgarh. Ballia can link to Nepal easily. What to me be the biggest block in the project is the bridge of the Ganges. What is intriguing is there is no talk of what is arguably the worst connected region of UP, namely Panchnaad. There was talk of opening it up a few months ago, but then deadly silence. Also, may I ask, when will the first section of the GQ to be started - NH 25 Lucknow-Kanpur be finished, if ever. Also, what is being done about grossly overladen (4x or so) trucks transporting (mostly illegally quarried) maurang (coarse sand). They are ruining the Kanpur-Lucknow (Lko-CNB is far less potholed) highway and many others incl. the recent collapse on a span on the Yamuna Bridge at Hamirpur |

I just plotted the places mentioned without overlapping any of the existing highways and this is what I came up with. |

Well then there's not really much that can alleviate the Firozabad/Shikhohabad mess on AH1, because if one were to try to avoid this on way to Kanpur using the new alignment, one would inadvertently end up doing more than a dog's leg - more time , more fuel. OT: Wonder when & if the authorities will think of constructing an elevated corridor on AH1 at Firozabad/Shikohabad on the lines of the AH1 stretch at Kanpur. |

Apologies gents. That wasn't the best guess. I missed adding Etawah. This is what it look like now. Attachment 1305281 Thinking out aloud, an alignment along the blue line would have saved some more distance and reduced the travel time further. But then it would have bypassed Netaji's bastions. :Frustrati:Frustrati |

Your first alignment is more accurate. Just bring it South by 30 kms. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showth...514413&page=13 Agra - 0 km Firozabad (Vill Gurha) - 53.5 km Etawah (Vill Moonj) - 115.5 km Kannauj (Vill Narmau) - 172.5 km Unnao (Vill Neval) - 236.5 km Lucknow - 302.2 km ALE will not touch Unnao. Can we request you to use your expertise and draw another map please. |

Pretty confusing. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/route-...ml#post3571502 and http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/route-...ml#post3570899 are both interesting. I also heard somewhere that it may link directly to the YE. I wish the latter (Etawah avoiding the Ferozabad nightmare). As for the bridge if they want a limited access highway then a new bridge on the Ganges may have to be constructed. However, it is possible they may use an existing bridge for some time. |

Thanks for the link, clears up a lot of things! And no expertise there, was kinda free in office so just joined the dots on the map. ;) ..... it seems to pick up from where YEW ends! clap: Attachment 1305393 |

Wonder what Netaji will do? It also depends on how deep the pockets of the concessionaires are. |
