Construction of 67 km Ring Road in Ayodhya Accelerates; First Underpass Appears on Ayodhya–Ambedkar Nagar Highway
The construction of the 67-kilometre-long Ring Road in Ayodhya is now visibly taking shape. The first underpass has started to emerge on the Ayodhya–Ambedkar Nagar Highway, located between the link road stretching from Yash Paper Mill to Sirsinda village. Just ahead, massive machinery has been deployed for the upcoming 4,200-meter-long bridge over the Sarayu River.
This bridge is being built from Rampur Halwara, passing through the NTPC solar plant area, and will connect Ayodhya with Basti district via the Sarayu River. The structure will act as an underpass beneath the under-construction four-lane road stretching from Nayaghat to Dashrath Samadhi.
The ₹2,500 crore Ring Road project, being constructed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), includes two major bridges over the Sarayu River. One of them is being built near Rampurwa, a hamlet under Sohawal’s Gram Panchayat Mangalsi. This bridge will connect directly to Tarabganj tehsil of Gonda district.
The new connection will lie barely one kilometre from the existing Dhemawa bridge that links to Gonda. Both the ring road and the bridges will be four-lane, significantly improving mobility. With the new Sarayu bridge near Rampurwa and the already existing Emwa bridge, travel across the region will become much smoother.
Once completed, the Ayodhya Ring Road will seamlessly connect four major highways:
- Ayodhya–Gorakhpur Highway
- Prayagraj Highway
- Raebareli Highway
- Ambedkar Nagar Highway
This large-scale infrastructure project is expected to significantly boost connectivity, reduce traffic congestion, and accelerate economic development across the region.
