UP Govt approves bids for two expressways

The Uttar Pradesh government on Monday approved the bids for two ambitious expressway projects — Bundelkhand Expressway linking Bundelkhand with Delhi via Agra-Lucknow Expressway and Gorakhpur Link Expressway linking eastern UP with the national capital via Agra-Lucknow Expressway.

The financial bids for the two expressways were opened on October 25 and the state cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath gave its approval to them on Monday.

Government spokesperson Sidharth Nath Singh, who is state Khadi Minister, said both the expressways were expected to be completed within 36 months after the signing of memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the construction companies.
