The Uttar Pradesh Expressway Development Authority is racing against time with the state government setting a strict deadline of December 2021 to finish work on two of its ambitious infrastructure projects: the Bundelkhand Expressway and the Poorvanchal Expressway.
“There is too much work and completing both projects ahead of 2022 seems to be mammoth task. In case of Bundelkhand Expressway, we have not even started the competitive bidding progress. However, political compulsions require them to complete it ahead of the state assembly elections,” a senior official from UPEDA told this publication.
