Design Flaws and Weak Soil Behind Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway Slippages

Structural slippages on the Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway have been attributed to design flaws rather than construction defects, according to officials. A preliminary investigation found that weak, plastic soil beneath the expressway is a primary contributing factor. Inadequate drainage has also been identified as a key issue worsening the structural damage. The affected sections will need to be completely rebuilt from the ground up. Authorities are awaiting a final detailed investigation report before proceeding further.
