Rajnath Singh Proposes Elevated Corridor Over Lucknow's Shaheed Path Due to Widening Constraints
Defence Minister and Lucknow MP Rajnath Singh has urged Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari to consider constructing an elevated corridor over Lucknow's Shaheed Path, as widening the road is no longer feasible due to encroachments. Singh highlighted the road's importance as the city's main north-south artery and noted increasing vehicular pressure. He also requested special design attention for a cloverleaf interchange at the congested Kamta intersection. The letter references the road's origin as a four-lane highway linking four national highways, built under the 1981 Master Plan, and notes significant population and vehicle growth since its completion.
