AEROCITY VARANASI
By Quick answer: The Varanasi Ring Road is a bypass around the northern and western edge of the city that lets traffic move between the Lucknow, Azamgarh, Ghazipur and Prayagraj highways without entering Varanasi. It starts near Harhua on the airport road and runs through villages such as Mohansarai side and Rajatalab, where the new international cricket stadium stands beside Ring Road Phase-2. Land along it is popular for plots, warehouses and logistics.
What the Ring Road is
The Ring Road was built in phases by the National Highways Authority of India. Phase I, about 16.55 km long, was inaugurated in 2018 together with the four-lane Babatpur–Varanasi road. Phase II extended the loop so heavy trucks no longer need to pass through city roads.
It links:
- NH towards Lucknow (via Babatpur and Jaunpur side)
- NH towards Azamgarh and Gorakhpur
- NH towards Ghazipur
- NH towards Prayagraj and Mirzapur (Mohansarai and Rajatalab side)
Areas along the Ring Road
- Harhua: junction with the Babatpur airport road; the busiest node for commercial land
- Villages between Harhua and Sarnath side: larger plots, farmhouses and warehouses
- Mohansarai and Rajatalab: junction for the Prayagraj and Mirzapur highways; home to the new cricket stadium at Ganjari
- Sandaha and the Ghazipur side: quieter belt with land-banking interest
