MoRTH plans ₹2,000-cr highway upgrade in MP

The Union Transport Minister
The Union Transport Minister has announced the construction of a 105-km long, four-lane greenfield road from Bamitha to Satna. The project will require an investment of ₹2,000 crore. This road will greatly boost tourism in the areas surrounding Tikamgarh, Panna, Chhatarpur, Khajuraho, and the Bandhavgarh National Park. Additionally, the minister announced plans for 28 national highway projects with a total length of 550 km, including the construction of bypasses in Powai, Orchha, Harpalpur, Kaithi Padhariya Kala, Patna Tamauli, Jasso, Nagaud, and Sagar. These projects aim to reduce traffic pressure in the city and make transportation of cement and minerals more efficient by reducing logistics costs. The Bhopal-Kanpur Economic Corridor, once completed, will also improve connectivity between Bhopal, Kanpur, Lucknow, Prayagraj, and Varanasi. Furthermore, a 2-lane road with a paved shoulder from Tikamgarh to Orchha will make vehicle movement smoother and safer. The minister also inaugurated highway projects worth ₹6,800 crore in Orchha, Madhya Pradesh.
