  3. a) As an access-controlled expressway<\/strong>, it will ensure faster travel<\/strong>, reduce fuel consumption and pollution<\/strong>, and enhance road safety<\/strong> by minimizing accidents; b) the expressway corridor can support the development of solar and wind energy projects, utilizing available land and infrastructure to promote sustainable energy solutions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. a) It will facilitate quick troop and logistics movement<\/strong> from critical military bases in the region (Gorakhpur air base) strengthening defense preparedness; b) the expressway is likely to spur urbanization<\/strong>, leading to creation of new townships <\/strong>and infrastructure development <\/strong>along its way.<\/li>\n
