Lucknow–Kanpur Expressway Cracks Days After Inauguration
Roughly two weeks after its high-profile inauguration, the expressway's upper asphalt surface caved/cracked over a stretch of about 40 metres; viral photos later showed pedestal fans deployed on the road to dry out rain-soaked patchwork repairs, drawing sharp political criticism.
Unnao-Kanpur British-Era Ganga Bridge Collapse
A roughly 150-year-old bridge built in 1874 by the Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway company, closed to traffic since 2021 after cracks were found in its pillars, saw a portion between two pillars collapse into the Ganga in the early hours of November 26, 2024. No casualties occurred because the bridge had already been closed, and authorities began demolishing the remaining unsafe sections.
Frequently Asked
Visitor questions
What is the number one place to see in Unnao?
Scroll to the list. It runs newest first, by the most recent year on record for each entry, so whatever the city has managed most recently sits at the top. Entries with no documented year are filed at the end.
Are these attractions safe to visit?
Define 'safe'. Daylight visits are advised. Maintain distance from open manholes, leaning structures, and anything under active repair. We accept no liability; neither does anyone else, which is rather the theme.
How much did these projects cost?
Where public figures exist, they're listed on each attraction's page, sourced from tenders, budgets and RTI replies. Several projects have no publicly disclosed final cost — that's noted too.
