another dream project of Akhilesh to solve the ever growing traffic snarls in the capital.
The commencement of civil works started in September, 2014 and the trial run on the first lane was conducted in December last year as promised by the ambitious chief minister. It is expected to be operational for public by March.
The metro project which will be the most expensive public transport system in the state, will cover 140 km in the city in total 4 phases in next 25 years and will be an alternative mode of transport.
The Gomti riverfront, developed along the river flowing from the centre of the city of Nawabs, is already making waves as the new centre of attraction.
The project included de-silting of the river, constructing Diaphragm Wall, beautification and development of a green belt along both sides of the river.
It also includes proper illumination of barrage and bridges along both banks of the river.
Besides building flyovers, the government has ambitious projects to set up in its outskirts medical facilities, sports hub, training centre for engineering students, malls and residences. These will provide both housing as well as employment opportunities.
The medical facility boasts of all world class amenities like a super-speciality Cancer Institute with 500 beds.
A 100-acre IT city which can train and recruit many engineering students within campus, an international cricket stadium with seating capacity of about 70,000 and several multi-storey residential projects and commercial complexes will also come up in the same complex.
The area on the periphery of Lucknow would also witness UP's biggest milk processing centre with 2 big companies setting up plant here.
AMUL has already built a milk processing plant of 5 lakh litre capacity per day while Parag has set up a training centre for its soon to be established 3 lakh litre milk processing plant. This dairy hub will also have a 50,000 litre daily ice-cream manufacturing plant.
The city has also got a sprawling Janeshwar Misra park spread over 376 acres, claimed to be Asia's largest garden.
It was developed at a cost of Rs 168 crore and was modeled on the pattern of Hyde Park in London.
