On completion, the Ganga Expressway will reportedly be the world’s longest expressway of around 600 km. The expressway is expected to connect Meerut, Amroha, Bulandshahr, Budaun, Shahjahanpur, Kannauj, Unnao, Raebareli, Pratapgarh and arrive at Prayagraj. The entire stretch of the expressway will be reportedly connecting Greater Noida to Ballia in Uttar Pradesh. Also, it will connect Delhi to Varanasi and Prayagraj.

Besides, the Yogi Adityanath cabinet has also approved a 91-km Purvanchal Expressway link road to Gorakhpur.
