THE TAJ Expressway, now known as the Yamuna Expressway, certainly lives up to its first name for its ambition and grandeur. Connecting Delhi with Agra, the 165 km, eight-lane highway is a work of modern engineering, which passes through more than 1,880 villages in Uttar Pradesh, and in the process, is changing the lives of villagers forever. The tractors that used to plough the 2,400 hectares of agricultural land on either side of the highway are to be replaced by bulldozers and crushers.

very large investment indeed..hope it is done according to expectation which can withstand for long time...or else most of the highways are worst in India with in years they are getting damaged..
In independent India many such mega projects have come up at a great human cost.I just wish authorities would address issues like fair compensation and rehabilitation of the affected people.
