New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated the much anticipated Bundelkhand Expressway today. PM landed in Kanpur and attended the inauguration ceremony in Uttar Pradesh’s Jalaun.
The four-lane expressway is reportedly a massive 296 kilometres-long construction and is worth nearly ₹14,850 crore rupees. The expressway has been built under Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA).
For the not-known, the foundation stone of the project was also laid by PM Modi in February 2020, and the construction of the expressway was completed before the expected time in a short period of 28 months.
