22 Apr 2025 CW Team

To accommodate surging traffic and support the city’s growing prominence post-Ram Temple inauguration, the Uttar Pradesh government has begun constructing Ayodhya’s first ring road — a transformative project aimed at strengthening regional connectivity and easing congestion.

Estimated at ?3,935 crore, the 67.17-km road will directly link Ayodhya to major cities like Lucknow, Varanasi, Prayagraj, and Raebareli. The project is strategically designed to promote faster, smoother, and safer travel.

Key Features:

Two major bridges over the Saryu River

Seven flyovers and four railway overbridges for seamless intercity access

Sixteen underpasses to reduce bottlenecks and ensure uninterrupted movement

Project Division & Design: The road is divided into two parts:

Northern Ayodhya Bypass: 35.40 km

Southern Ayodhya Bypass: 32.172 km

With four to six lanes, the road is tailored for high-capacity movement, supporting both commercial transport and religious tourism.

Officials believe the ring road will not only reduce traffic pressure within the city but also improve access to Ayodhya’s religious and historical destinations, positioning it as a modern, well-connected pilgrimage hub.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..
