Additionally, a four-lane Maya Bazaar bypass and Ambedkarnagar Bazaar bypass have also been sanctioned. The Ayodhya-Akbarpur-Baskhari road is being extended into a four-lane road. Once the development gets over, heavy traffic directed for Azamgarh, Mau, Varanasi, Ballia etc, will be redirected to the new bypass roads.
