Practical considerations


What’s going on

The new Lucknow–Kanpur Expressway (sometimes referred to the “Lucknow-Kanpur Greenfield Expressway”) is under construction in Uttar Pradesh to significantly improve travel between Lucknow and Kanpur. Invest UP+3India TV News+3Indiatimes+3

Here are some key facts:

  • Length: ~ 63 km (some sources say ~62.7 km) from Shaheed Path, Lucknow to near Azad Marg/Chauraha in Kanpur. Invest UP+1

  • Lanes: Initially 6-lane access-controlled, expandable to 8 lanes. India TV News+1

  • Cost: About ₹4,700 crore. Invest UP+1

  • Travel time target: Reduce current road travel (≈1.5 to 3 hours) down to about 35-45 minutes. India TV News+3The Times of India+3Indiatimes+3

  • Project status: As of early/mid-2025 about 80% complete. Operational expected around June–July 2025 in many reports. India TV News+1

🎯 So will travel time be cut to 30 minutes?

  • The target being frequently cited is ~35-45 minutes, not 30 minutes. Indiatimes+1

  • Some headlines have rounded to “40 minutes” or “35 minutes” for effect. For example: “travel time to be reduced to 40 minutes”. India TV News

  • Realistically, 30 minutes for ~63km means an average speed of ~126 km/h (ignoring access, tolls, traffic, ramps). That is above typical Indian expressway running averages, so 30 minutes is likely optimistic unless conditions are ideal.

Conclusion: Travel time of ~35–45 minutes seems plausible (and is the official estimate). 30 minutes would be exceptional and not the publicly stated target. So the answer: not quite 30 minutes, but significantly shorter than current travel times.

🧭 Practical considerations

  • Once open, users will still have to factor in entry/exit, tolls, local access.

  • Travel time will improve only if you use the expressway entry/exit points and avoid city-traffic delays on either end (Lucknow side near Shaheed Path, Kanpur side near Azad Marg).

  • Enforcement of high speed will depend on traffic volume, weather, maintenance.

  • If you’re doing a door-to-door journey (e.g., starting inside Lucknow city or ending inside Kanpur city), add buffer time for first/last mile.

If you like, I can check updated construction status (as of Q4 2025) for the expressway and when it is actually expected to open. Would you like me to get that?
