The
Bundelkhand Expressway in Uttar Pradesh is nearing its completion and
is likely to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in mid-July.
Additional Chief Secretary (ACS), Home and Chief
Executive Officer of Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development
Authority (UPEIDA), Awanish Kumar Awasthi inspected the progress of the
project in Etawah district on Tuesday and directed the construction
agencies to complete the remaining work within 10 days.
The
296-km access-controlled expressway starts near Bharatkoop in Chitrakoot
district and merges with Agra-Lucknow expressway near Kudrail village
in Etawah.
The expressway will pass through Chitrakoot, Banda, Mahoba, Hamirpur, Jaluan, Aurraiya and Etawah districts.
The
four-lane expressway (expandable to six lanes) has four railway over
bridges, 14 large bridges, 266 small bridges, 18 flyovers, six toll
plazas and 7 ramp plazas.
To provide access to the villagers settled near the expressway, service lane has been constructed, the officials said.
As
the Bundelkhand Expressway gets operational, the area will be linked
with a fast and smooth traffic corridor with Delhi and National Capital
Region through Agra-Lucknow expressway and Yamuna expressway.
The expressway will give momentum to development of the backward region
of Bundelkhand while giving thrust to agriculture, commerce, tourism and
the industrial sector.
The state government plans to develop an industrial corridor along the expressway to boost the investment in the region.
Entrepreneurs can set up industrial training institute, educational
institutions and medical institutes near the expressway. It will also
give thrust to handloom industry, food processing, dairy, storage and
traditional medium- and small-scale industrial units in Bundelkhand
region, the ACS said.
The major rivers of Bundelkhand, including Ken, Betwa, Yamuna, Bagen, Chandrawal, Birma and Sengar, flow near the expressway.
The
scheduled date of completion of the Bundelkhand Expressway project was
2023, but the construction of the expressway has been completed in 27
months.
