When Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Ayodhya on Saturday, Lucknow's traffic will face disruptions due to VVIP movements, as announced by the Lucknow Traffic Police.
To accommodate this, traffic diversions will be implemented in Lucknow starting from midnight on December 29, according to the official statement.
Specifically, buses, large, and heavy vehicles traveling from Sitapur Road won't have access towards Barabanki/Ayodhya routes. Instead, they'll be redirected through Bhitauli, Engineering College, Tedhipulia, and Behta intersections via Kursi Road or Sultanpur using Kisan Path. Commuters can also opt for the Purvanchal Expressway to reach their destinations.
Similarly, vehicles from the Kanpur side falling into the category of buses, big, and heavy will be diverted away from Barabanki/Ayodhya routes. They'll be rerouted through Junabganj turn, Mohanlalganj town, Gosaiganj town intersections, and directed towards Sultanpur Road via the Purvanchal Expressway.
For smaller vehicles, diversions will commence from 6 a.m. on December 30. Vehicles traveling from Lucknow via Barabanki to destinations like Basti, Sant Kabir Nagar, and Gorakhpur will be prohibited from passing through Ayodhya. Instead, they'll be guided through Barabanki via Gonda to reach their intended locations.
