Maharashtra plans Shaktipeeth Expressway connecting Nagpur to Goa

Even as the Samruddhi Mahamarg is nearing completion, the Maharashtra government has planned a Shaktipeeth Expressway – which would be India’s longest expressway.

The Shaktipeeth Expressway would connect Nagpur to Goa.

At the NITI Aayog meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde spoke about the Samruddhi Corridor and Shaktipeeth Expressway.

“The Maharashtra Shaktipeeth Expressway is planned to connect three Shaktipeethas, two Jyotirlingas, and pilgrimage centres in east, west, and south Maharashtra. This will reduce the travel time between Nagpur and Goa by 10 hours,” Shinde told the crucial meeting on the theme of ‘Viksit Bharat @ 2047: Role of Team India’.
