‘Webbish Highway’; Agra – Lucknow highway to get free wifi soon

Lucknow, November 16: If you are going to travel by Agra - Lucknow highway and getting bored by the journey then here is the solution as the 302 kms highway will soon have a facility of free wifi. Now the travelers travelling through this highway will have an access to internet at free cost.

 

The government has offered to provide space to lay an optical fiber cable (OFC) along the expressway. The plan is to earn revenue to maintain the expressway and gain from the agreement with the private firm by leasing rights to lay the OFCs to offer free WiFi along the entire stretch.

Reportedly, this will also help the state to have a world-class advanced traffic management system (ATMS) for convenience and safety. Safety will be assured by the usage of traffic monitoring and event detection along with speed enforcement through a network of CCTV cameras and phone helplines at every two kilometers.

 

The expressway, which so far has no eatery or petrol pump, will also soon get these facilities along its entire stretch. Two such facilities on each side of the expressway, 100 km apart, are coming up now.
