Bundelkhand Expressway

The 296 km four-lane expressway was built at a cost of roughly Rs 14,850 crore by the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) and can be expanded to six lanes in the future.

It runs from NH-35 at Bharatkoop in Chitrakoot district to near Kudrail in Etawah district, where it connects with the Agra-Lucknow expressway. Chitrakoot, Banda, Mahoba, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Auraiya, and Etawah are among the districts it goes through.

Along with enhancing regional connections, the Bundelkhand Expressway would spur economic growth, leading in the creation of thousands of employment for locals. According to the PMO, work on the construction of an industrial corridor in the Banda and Jalaun districts, adjacent to the Expressway, has already begun.
