Prayagraj – The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has announced a major relief for pilgrims travelling to the Maha Kumbha 2025 in Prayagraj. Tolls on the Lucknow- Prayagraj National Highway have been temporarily waived and will remain toll-free till 28 th February 2025.
The announcement came after another toll plaza at Andhiyari, located on the Prayagraj-Rae Bareli National Highway, was made toll-free for all private vehicles. Since Friday midnight, vehicles have been passing through the Andhiyari toll plaza without any interruption. According to officials, the suspension of toll collection is primarily due to incomplete construction work on the highway. However, according to reports, the government issued orders to waive tolls for Maha Kumbha devotees. Devotees have welcomed this decision.
