Uttar Pradesh's Bundelkhand Expressway Creates New Record
Uttar Pradesh’s Bundelkhand Expressway has created a new record by continuously laying 19,756 tonnes of bituminous concrete, paving a 14.51 Km wide carriageway in 93 hours.
The record was created by Ashoka Buildcon Ltd, which is building package - 3 of the project. The 49 Km long package - 3 of Bundelkhand Expressway being built with Rs 1,079 crore goes through Kaouhri, Mahoba district to Brolikharka, Hamirpur district.
With this new record of laying 19,756 tonnes of bituminous concrete, Ashoka Buildcon Ltd has broken its record created in April 2021.
The 296 Km long Bundelkhand Expressway begins at village Kudrail in district Etawah on the Agra-Lucknow expressway and ends near Bharatkoop in Chitrakoot district.
The construction cost is estimated to be more than Rs 7,700 crore. The project has been divided into six packages. Contracts have been constituted with developers like Apco Infratech, Ashoka Buildcon, Gavar Construction and Dilip Bildcon.
With the construction of the expressway, the Bundelkhand area will be linked with a fast and smooth traffic corridor to the Agra-Lucknow expressway and Yamuna expressway, thus further connected to the National Capital Region (NCR Delhi).
