The Union Cabinet on Tuesday approved a new 11km corridor of Lucknow Metro that will improve connectivity to the commercial hubs, tourist attractions, healthcare facilities and culinary destinations.
At a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Cabinet approved the Phase 1-B of the Lucknow Metro rail project. In all, the corridor will have 12 stations, covering 11.165km, and once complete, it will take the total network in the city to 34km.
“Phase-1B of the Lucknow Metro project will introduce approximately 11.165 Km of new metro lines, significantly improving public transportation in the oldest and most densely populated areas of the city, which currently lack efficient connectivity. This phase aims to seamlessly integrate key zones of Old Lucknow,” a government statement said.
Among the areas that will benefit are Aminabad, Yahiyaganj, Pandeyganj, Chowk, King George’s Medical University, Bara Imambara, Chota Imambara, Bhool Bhulaiya, Clock Tower and Rumi Darwaza, it said.
“By bridging these vital areas with the metro network, Phase-1B will not only enhance connectivity but also stimulate economic activity, tourism, and ease urban mobility for both residents and visitors,” the government said.
