e-ways projects
The UP cabinet has approved ₹454 crore more for building two highways which will link backward regions of the state. The 296-km Bundelkhand Expressway and the 91-km Gorakhpur Link Expressway will cost ₹14,849 crore and ₹5,876 crore respectively. The CM has cleared bids for the two projects, allowing work on Bundelkhand Expressway to begin shortly. The government has acquired 90% of 3,641 hectares land for the Bundelkhand Expressway, which is projected to boost the economy of the arid Bundelkhand region. It will pass through Jhansi, Banda, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Jalaun, Auraiya and Etawah districts, and touch Agra-Lucknow Expressway at Etawah. The 91-km Gorakhpur Expressway, traversing Azamgarh and Ambedkar Nagar districts, will link Gorakhpur with the Purvanchal Expressway and will be commissioned next year.
