The Bundelkhand Expressway, the foundation stone of which was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, will give momentum to the Uttar Pradesh defence corridor, Chief Minister Yodi Adityanath said in Chitrakoot.
The 296-km-long Expressway to be built at a cost of Rs 15,000 crore will pass through Uttar Pradesh’s Chitrakoot, Banda, Hamirpur and Jalaun districts, and link the Bundelkhand region, considered one of the most backward areas of the country, to Delhi through the Agra-Lucknow Expressway and the Yamuna Expressway.
