Varanasi Ring Road, Varanasi

Information checked on 21 October 2026

Overview

The belt along the 57.3 km four-lane Varanasi Ring Road (NH-135B), which runs from NH-19 near Raja Talab to Revasa (Times Now; PIB).

Connectivity

Phase I (16.55 km, Harahua–Sandaha) opened in November 2018 and Phase II Package I in October 2021. Status: operational. For Phase II Package II (about 27 km, including a 1.8 km six-lane Ganga bridge), NHAI's project director said one carriageway of the bridge opened to light vehicles in June 2025 (Times of India). Times Now reported on 10 June 2026 that the Sanda–Revasa stretch was still limited to light vehicles, with a completion deadline of 31 October 2026. Status: under construction (partly open to light vehicles).

Infrastructure and planned projects

On 15 July 2026 the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved a 46.039 km six-lane greenfield elevated corridor linking NH-19 and the Ring Road along the Ganga, at a total capital cost of ₹14,447.64 crore under the Hybrid Annuity Model, including a 910 m cable-stayed Ganga bridge (PIB). Status: approved.

Things to consider

Package II has missed earlier deadlines, and the elevated corridor is approved but not under construction. Verify title, land records, master-plan land use, any acquisition notices and UP RERA registration (up-rera.in) where applicable, and take independent professional advice where needed.
