In a major push to connectivity and regional development, Uttar Pradesh is all set to construct the Chitrakoot Link Expressway, a greenfield project that will directly connect Chitrakoot to the Bundelkhand Expressway.
The project aims to further cement UP’s reputation as the ‘Expressway State’ of India.
Acting on the vision of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the UP Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has finalised the blueprint for this ambitious project.
The expressway, estimated to cost over Rs 514 crore, is slated for completion within 18 months.
The Chitrakoot Link Expressway will span over 15 km and will initially be built as a four-lane road with future expansion capacity to six lanes.
Designed to meet high standards of modern infrastructure, it is expected to benefit not only local commuters but also tourists and pilgrims visiting Chitrakoot.
It will provide world-class travel facilities and help establish superior transportation standards in the region.
To ensure the expressway is built with high and international standards, multiple levels of inspections and quality checks will be conducted.
The expressway will be designed to allow vehicles to run comfortably at a speed of 120 km per hour.
Additionally, wayside amenities like toll plazas, toilet blocks, and truck parking areas will be developed on both sides of the expressway for the convenience of travelers.
