A new chapter in this transformation will be added on Jul 11 when chief minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurates the 11.6-km Bhathat–Basthan four-lane road project, built at a cost of Rs 689.35 crore.Once known for poor road conditions and traffic bottlenecks, the city now enjoys four-lane connectivity on all major outer routes, while a web of widened roads has improved movement within the urban area.
