The Lucknow Metro project is built to serve growing population of Uttar Pradesh, North India, as well as to serve the areas that are not connected by the existing rail system. The 35-kilometer rail system comprises 22 stations, of which 19 will be elevated.
The first phase of the project consists in construction of 2 rail lines (North- South and East-West corridor), connecting four corners of Lucknow by running through the heart of the city. Being implemented by Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC), the Phase 1 comprises the construction of 22.88-kilometer long North-South corridor. The priority section is 8.5 kilometers, linking Transport Nagar to Charbagh.
Once operational, the Lucknow Metro will help ease the traffic in the city, and will also reduce commuters’ travel time.
