PM Modi to inaugurate Bundelkhand Expressway in UP today
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Uttar Pradesh on Saturday to inaugurate the 296 km four-lane Bundelkhand Expressway. The expressway, which has been built at a cost of Rs 14,850 crore, will connect Chitrakoot with the Lucknow-Agra Expressway near Etawah.
“Tomorrow, 16th July is a special day for my sisters and brothers of the Bundelkhand region,” PM Modi tweeted on Friday. “At a programme in Jalaun district, the Bundelkhand Expressway will be inaugurated. This project will boost the local economy and connectivity.”
The prime minister previously laid a foundation stone for the project in February 2020. The expressway was completed in a record 28 months – 8 months ahead of its deadline, the government said.
