Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway Faces Issues Days After Opening
The Rs 4,200 crore Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway has reportedly experienced multiple failures and required repairs within 20 days of its inauguration. Several outlets reported that toll collection was suspended following road slippage and subsidence. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has initiated an investigation, suspended toll collection, and taken action against engineers and the construction company. Some reports mention a 300-meter road slippage and the use of fans to dry the surface during repairs.
