Cabinet Approval for 320km-long Vindhya E-Way

The Uttar Pradesh government has given its in-principle approval for two major connectivity projects aimed at enhancing the state’s road network. During a cabinet meeting at the Triveni Complex, Arail, the government approved the construction of the 320-kilometre-long Vindhya Expressway and the 100-kilometre Vindhya-Purvanchal link expressway.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stressed that these expressways would stimulate the region's social and economic growth, complementing the existing connectivity across Paschimanchal, Madhyanchal, Purvanchal, and Bundelkhand.

The 320-kilometre Vindhya Expressway will link Prayagraj, Mirzapur, Varanasi, Chandauli, and Sonbhadra, connecting the Ganga Expressway in Prayagraj with NH-39 in Sonbhadra. This new road will improve links between the Ganga and Vindhya expressways and enhance connectivity with neighbouring states like Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.

Additionally, the 100-kilometre Vindhya-Purvanchal link expressway will connect Chandauli on the Vindhya Expressway to Ghazipur, the final point of the Purvanchal Expressway.

In a move aimed at improving Prayagraj's infrastructure, CM Adityanath also announced plans for a new bridge connecting Salori to Hetapatti and in-principle approval for the construction of a new bridge parallel to the Shastri Bridge and Yamuna Signature Bridge. These new bridges will support Prayagraj’s vision of becoming a "Smart City".

During the meeting, the state government reiterated its commitment to ensuring the creation of a "safe and prosperous Uttar Pradesh," with decisions aimed at benefitting the state's farmers, youth, women, and the poor.
