For quicker completion of the civil works, the access-controlled, six-lane (extendable to eight-lane) greenfield Ganga Expressway project has been divided into four groups with three packages each, totalling to 12 packages. Separate engineers were hired for each of the four expressway groups. The expressway is expected to be commissioned in the next 36 months, by November 2025.
