Shaheed Path is a four lane outer road constructed to divert traffic coming from and going to Kanpur Road or Ayodhya Road to avoid the heavy traffic of the colonial streets and lanes of Lucknow.
It was a dream project of former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, who represented the Lucknow constituency in the Lok Sabha.
The four-lane flyover has a uniform width, and each side of the divider is 8.75 meters wide.
It starts from Transport Nagar metro station at Kanpur Road and meets at Chinhat at Ayodhya Road.
The flyover has service lanes and under passes at NH-56 and NH-24, linking it to Lucknow-Sultanpur and Lucknow-Rae Bareli national highways respectively.
