Another important and vision initiative has come to light towards strengthening the traffic management and infrastructure of the Uttar Pradesh government. The process of construction of the proposed NH-727B bypass from Nawalpur to Sikandarpur in Ballia district has got the green signal. NHAI (National Highways Authority of India) has started the process of land acquisition on Friday, which has led to the construction work.

6.9 km long and 45 meters wide bypass

• This bypass will be 6.9 km long and 45 meters wide.

Six junctions will be 50 meters wide, service lane will be made

• There will be 50 meters wide junction points at six places on this bypass.

• Service lanes will be constructed on both sides to connect villages, which will provide facilities in local movement.
