The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) expects to open the nearly one-kilometre railway overbridge connecting Daliganj with the Pucca Pul crossing near Teele Wali Masjid within days. Black-topping is underway and is expected to finish in two to three days. The opening will complete the 13.5-km Green Corridor stretch between IIM Road and Samta Mulak crossing, enabling continuous travel across Daliganj–Pucca Pul and improving north–central Lucknow connections. The overbridge is the last major component of Phase 2, costing around ₹209 crore. Phase 2’s Mankameshwar Road–Suraj Kund Park bridge and two elevated rotaries are complete and inaugurated; construction issues delayed the overbridge. A planned intersection near Teele Wali Masjid and Pucca Pul would direct IIM Road traffic towards Sitapur Road and allow vehicles for Old Lucknow and Daliganj to continue along the corridor. The plan is held up by construction of a parallel bridge by the Bridge Corporation; its approach road still needs soil filling and other work. Traffic is expected to shift from heritage Pucca Pul to the new bridge, prompting LDA to coordinate the intersection design. A boundary wall encroaches on road space; moving it inward by a few inches would enable the required alignment, while leaving it could reduce road width and cause congestion. LDA secretary Sushil Pratap Singh said the connection would ease travel for thousands of commuters.

The Lucknow Development Authority launched 3,105 residential plots across two townships, with online applications opening September 24, 2026. Plot sizes range from 72 to 450 sq. metres.

• Varun Vihar: Nearly 6,580 acres; 1,926 plots in Phase 1—1,218 in Kailash Khand and 708 in Kashi Khand. Located near Mohan Road and the Agra Expressway.

Prices are tied to official land rates. Applicants pay a 10% deposit, or 5% for reserved categories; successful applicants pay the balance in instalments. A computerised draw allocates plots, and unsuccessful applicants receive refunds. Applicants must be Indian citizens aged at least 18 and must not already own a plot or house allotted by the local housing board within city limits. EWS, LIG, MIG and HIG categories are included. Site preparation and phased construction of roads, drainage and power lines have begun.

• Lucknow Development Authority is set to launch the Naimish Nagar Housing Scheme in August 2026. The township is planned along the IIM Road–Sitapur Road corridor in Bakshi Ka Talab (BKT), North Lucknow.
• The scheme is described as covering 2,504 acres; the township is also stated to span approximately 3,681.69 acres.
• Plots are expected to cost ₹2,500–₹3,000 per sq ft.

Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) postponed the launch of the Naimisharanya Yojana, also called Naimish Nagar, on Sitapur Road after the Chief Minister’s appointment was unavailable. The launch had been scheduled for September 14; an earlier timeline placed it in August 2026.

The 2,504-acre township is planned along the IIM Road–Sitapur Road corridor in North Lucknow, primarily in BKT tehsil, and is associated with 18 villages. Plots are expected to cost ₹2,500–₹3,000 per sq ft. First-phase allotment has been reported as lottery-based; applicants should confirm the final mechanism and scheme details in LDA’s official notification.
