In a historic achievement, the Ganga Expressway project in Uttar Pradesh has set two world records in just 24 hours, marking a significant milestone in India’s infrastructure development. The Uttar Pradesh government announced that the project achieved the fastest construction of 34.24 lane kilometers of bituminous concrete and the installation of 10 kilometers of Thrie beam crash barriers, both in the Hardoi-Unnao section (Package-3) of the expressway.
This remarkable feat, accomplished on May 18, 2025, has earned entries in the Golden Book of World Records, Asia Book of Records, and India Book of Records, highlighting the state’s commitment to rapid and high-quality infrastructure development. The Ganga Expressway, a 594-km, 6-lane (expandable to 8) greenfield project connecting Meerut to Prayagraj, is set to reduce travel time between these cities from 12 hours to just 6-7 hours, boosting connectivity and economic growth in the region.
The records were set under the leadership of the Uttar Pradesh government, with real-time AI quality checks ensuring precision and efficiency. The construction involved laying 20,105 metric tons of bituminous concrete, demonstrating an unprecedented scale of engineering excellence.

“This is a shining example of visionary governance and next-level infrastructure,” said a spokesperson for the Uttar Pradesh government. “The Ganga Expressway is not just a road; it’s a symbol of speed, scale, and resolve in building a new Uttar Pradesh for a new India.”
The project, expected to be completed by November 2025, is poised to transform Uttar Pradesh’s road network, positioning the state as a leader in India’s infrastructure revolution.
