The Kanpur-Lucknow toll road will aid in making journeys convenient for users, as the transiting time between the two cities is projected to be reduced from three hours to 1 hour 30 minutes.

The planned road structure from Amausi to Daroga Kheda will be upgrading to a 6 lane, expanding to 8 lanes structure in the future. Currently, the expressway features 4 lanes . Construction ongoing or 8 lanes will allow for the expressway to become one of the most intensive directional motorways.  

Measure of distance in Mhow, India
