Fourth Expressway in UP: PM Modi to inaugurate 296-km Bundelkhand Expressway tomorrow
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday will inaugurate 296-km-long Bundelkhand Expressway, which will connect the Chitrakoot in underdeveloped Bundelkhand region with the Lucknow-Agra Expressway near Etawah.
The fourth expressway project in Uttar Pradesh has been completed in record 28 months – 8 months ahead of its deadline, the government said. PM Modi had laid the foundation of the project in February 2020.
Built at a cost of Rs 14,850 crore, the four-lane expressway, which can be expanded to six lanes later, will cover six districts — Etawah, Auraiya, Jalaun, Mahoba, Banda, and Hamirpur — before terminating at Gonda village near Bharatkoot area of Chitrakoot district in Bundelkhand.
