The four-lane express highway, which can be expanded to six lanes, has been developed at the cost of Rs 14,850 crore under the management of the Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA). The Expressway route will start from the National Highway 35 at Gonda village near Bharatkoop in Chitrakoot district and extend up to Kudrail village in Etawah district, where it connects with the Agra-Lucknow Expressway. The Bundelkhand Expressway route will cover a total of seven districts, viz., Chitrakoot, Banda, Mohaba, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Auraiya and Etawah.
The Bundelkhand Expressway, which will be linked to the Agra-Lucknow Expressway and Yamuna Expressway, will significantly cut down the travel time between Delhi and Chitrakoot in UP’s Bundelkhand region, from 12 hours to about 5-6 hours.
