PM Narendra Modi inaugurated the 594-km Ganga Expressway on April 29, linking Meerut and Prayagraj. CM Yogi Adityanath announced 15 days of toll-free travel starting May 1, saving car owners approximately INR 1,515 per full trip. The 6-lane corridor cuts travel time to six hours and will use a FASTag-only closed toll system once charges begin.
