The alignment of Public Works Department, Uttar Pradesh's Ganga Expressway project is final and the preliminary paperwork for the process of land acquisition is under way.

The land proposals contain the 'khasra' (number) of the land to be acquired from farmers and landowners, after which the process of negotiations and compensation for the acquired land will begin. Work on the proposed 1,047 km long, eight-lane expressway to cost Rs 30,000 crore is expected to commence work by end December 2008.

Earlier, the Uttar Pradesh government had suggested some changes in the alignment submitted by the JP Group for the proposed expressway between Greater Noida and Ballia. The alignment was submitted to the state government by the UP Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) and JP Group in July 2008.
