'''National Highway 28''' is a [[National Highway (India)|National Highway]] in [[India]] that links [[Lucknow]] in [[Uttar Pradesh]] to [[Barauni]] in [[Bihar]]. It crosses into Bihar about {{convert|20|km|mi|abbr=on}} from [[Kushinagar]]. It joins [[National Highway 31 (India)|National Highway 31]] at Barauni north of the river Ganges. The total length of NH 28 is {{convert|570|km|mi|abbr=on}}. It traverses {{convert|259|km|mi|abbr=on}} in [[Bihar]] and {{convert|311|km|mi|abbr=on}} in [[Uttar Pradesh]].

==Span==
National Highway 28 links the industrial town of [[Barauni]] in [[Bihar]] with the capital city of [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Lucknow]], via [[Gorakhpur]]. It spans across the districts of [[Begusarai]], [[Samastipur]], [[Muzaffarpur]], [[East Champaran]] and [[Gopalganj, India|Gopalganj]] in Bihar and [[Kushinagar]], [[Deoria, Uttar Pradesh|Deoria]], [[Gorakhpur]], [[Sant Kabir Nagar]], [[Basti, Uttar Pradesh|Basti]], [[Faizabad]], [[Barabanki city|Barabanki]] and [[Lucknow]] in Uttar Pradesh and touches some major cities and towns on the way.

==Start==
[[File:NH 28 passing near Basti.jpg|thumb|290px|right|NH 28 near [[Basti, Uttar Pradesh|Basti]]]]
National Highway 28 starts at the junction with [[National Highway 31 (India)|National Highway 31]] near Barauni and passes north-west through Samastipur, Muzaffarpur, Motipur, [[Mehsi]] and [[Chakia, Bihar|Chakia]], turns westwards at Piprakothi about {{convert|10|km|mi|abbr=on}} before [[Motihari]], again becomes north-west bound near Gopalganj and leaves the state past Kuchai Kot to enter Uttar Pradesh.

In Uttar Pradesh, Kasia is the first major settlement that lies along the National Highway 28. [[Kasia, Uttar Pradesh]] is {{convert|58|km|mi|abbr=on}} north-west of Gopalganj. The highway then touches [[Gorakhpur]], Basti, Khalilabad, [[Faizabad]] and [[Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh|Barabanki]], before terminating at [[Lucknow]]. National Highway 28 is {{convert|331|km|mi|abbr=on}} - long in Uttar Pradesh.

==Ditch patch==
Although well maintained otherwise, NH 28 has bad strip of 40 km (exact) in between Saryu river bridge and UP-Bihar border (near Gopalganj, Bihar). This portion of the highway is full of unsafe and eroded ditches (the depth of which is very difficult to judge from beyond 3 ft). If driving through NH28 in a light-vehicle, it is advisable to cross this patch of highway before dark and avoid it during heavy rains. The situation of this part is generally attributed to lower topography, heavy rains and indifferent attitude of corrupt representatives.{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}}

==Accidents==
It is one of busiest national highway in country and also facing various frequent life losing accidents on it. The main cause behind accidents are unexpected broken road-divider by local population for their ease to cross road. Recently an accident blocking the highway for around 5 hours (which led to around 35 kilometer-long close traffic on NH), took place by students of Sri Ramswaroop Memorial College of Engineering and Management Lucknow because of frequent deaths of students and staff of the college.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/lucknow/Day-after-students-death-protest-outside-college/articleshow/44764655.cms |title=Day after student's death, protest outside college |website=Timesofindia.indiatimes.com |date=2014-10-10 |access-date=2016-06-14}}</ref>

==Other important locations==
