UP airport 1st to have national highway under runway.

The Lal Bahadur Shastri (LBS) International Airport in Babatpur � about 26km from Varanasi � will soon become the first airport in the country to have a national highway running under its runway. The construction of an underpass will ensure the expansion of the airport�s runway for the landing of big planes, as well as convert the highway into a four-lane road.
The Airport Authority of India (AAI) has given its nod to the airport�s runway expansion by building the underpass, which will keep the alignment of the Varanasi-Lucknow highway (NH-56) intact. The existing runway is 2,750m and is proposed to be extended up to 4,075m to ensure landing of big cargo and Boeing planes at the airport. The runway expansion and underpass construction will commence simultaneously, said officials.
