Bhuwana–Balicha Bypass Upgraded to Four-Lane Highway

A 5.5-km section of the 17-km Bhuwana to Balicha bypass, extending up to Pratap Nagar, has been upgraded to a four-lane road, with a width equivalent to a six-lane highway. Work on dividers, decorative poles, and lighting tests has been completed, while plantation work is currently underway. The Urban Development Authority (UDA) will formally inaugurate the project once minor finishing touches are complete.
The project, announced in the 2021–22 Chief Minister’s budget, was completed at a total cost of Rs 383.6 million. Two overbridges have been constructed on this stretch, one at the RTO intersection and the other near Hotel OYO. Service roads have also been built on both sides of the main road.
The remaining 11.5 km of the bypass, from Pratap Nagar to Balicha, is still under construction. Two underpasses on the completed stretch, leading towards Chitrakoot Nagar and Khelgaon, allow vehicles to pass without stopping.
This phase of the project was announced in the 2022–23 Chief Minister’s budget, with an estimated cost of Rs 840 million. The existing three-lane road is being widened to four lanes, with the current width of 11–14 metres being expanded by an additional 3 metres on both sides.
No work is planned on the railway bridge along this route.
