When finished, the first stretch, 28 km long, will connect National Highway 509 in Aligarh to Asroi village near Hathras.
A new 65-kilometre expressway is being built that will cut the travel time between Agra and Aligarh to just one hour, which is less than half of what it takes now. Named the Agra-Aligarh Greenfield Expressway, the project costs about Rs. 1,536.9 crore and is set to change how people travel in Uttar Pradesh by offering fast and smooth connectivity between the two historic cities. The expressway will be a modern four-lane road, giving commuters and tourists a quicker and easier way to travel. People in Aligarh and Hathras are expected to benefit the most.
Agra-Aligarh expressway to connect Bareilly-Mathura Highway and Agra-Noida Yamuna Expressway
When finished, the first stretch, 28 km long, will connect National Highway 509 in Aligarh to Asroi village near Hathras. Besides this, the expressway will also connect Bareilly-Mathura Highway and Agra-Noida Yamuna Expressway
- Phase 1: A 28 km stretch will connect National Highway 509 in Aligarh to Asroi village near Hathras.
- Phase 2: The road will then extend to Khandauli in Agra, where it will link with the Yamuna Expressway.
The expressway will greatly improve travel for tourists heading to Agra, especially those visiting the Taj Mahal. It will also give people in Aligarh a faster route to Delhi and Noida, making daily travel and long-distance trips much easier.
Travel time to reduce to just 1 hour
The upcoming expressway will cut the journey between Agra and Aligarh from more than two hours to just one hour. This will be a big relief for local people, daily commuters, and tourists. Students and professionals will find it easier to reach Aligarh’s colleges and industries, while tourists will have a smoother trip to Agra’s famous landmarks like the Taj Mahal.
By offering a faster option, the expressway will also reduce traffic on older, crowded roads and give travelers a better route towards the busy Delhi-NCR region. Beyond personal travel, this project is set to improve logistics and trade, making it easier to move goods between Agra, Aligarh, and nearby cities.
