PM Modi To Inaugurate 296 Km Long Bundelkhand Expressway On July 16
The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi will be inaugurating the Bundelkhand Expressway in Orai tehsil of Jalaun district of Uttar Pradesh on July 16, 2022. PMO India released a statement saying "A significant endeavour towards this was the laying of the foundation stone for the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway by the Prime Minister on February 29, 2020. Adding to that, apart from improving connectivity, the expressway will also help in boosting economic development in the region."
In a press Interview, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath said, "All of us await the launch of the Bundelkhand expressway in high spirits. July 16 has been set as the date when PM Modi would inaugurate & launch it. The state will get a new gift in the form of this expressway"
The Bundelkhand expressway is India's third longest expressway. The 296 km-long expressway crosses seven districts, which include Chitrakoot, Banda, Mahoba, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Auraiya and Etawah, and it took 28 months to complete its construction. The starting point connects to NH-35 in Uttar Pradesh's Gonda village that comes under Chitrakoot district. The Bundelkhand expressway connects with the Agra-Lucknow expressway from Etawah onward. According to the CEO of UPEIDA Awanish Kumar Awasthi, the new expressway will reduce the travel time between Delhi and Chitrakoot to as low as 6 hours, and the expressway will also act as an industrial corridor for the region to Delhi-NCR.
