Bundelkhand Expressway, one of the most ambitious projects of Uttar Pradesh government, is all set to get operational by the end of the current year. The 296-km long highway is billed to be the safest four-lane expressway in the country as it is based on Forgiving Roads (FR), a concept aimed at avoiding or minimising the harm and consequences of traffic accidents.
FR envisages a road design that seeks to smoothly redirect motorists who go off the highways out of confusion over the exit ways.
The four-lane access-controlled expressway is being built by Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA). Four private infrastructure majors, Apco Infratech, Ashoka Buildcon, Gawar Construction and Dilip Buildcon are executing the project.
