Gwalior-Agra Expressway to Boost Connectivity in UP, MP and Rajasthan

19 Dec 2024 CW Team

The Gwalior-Agra Expressway, an 88-km six-lane corridor, is set to enhance connectivity between Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh while extending its benefits to Rajasthan. This ambitious infrastructure project, with a budget of Rs 46.13 billion, is progressing swiftly and aims to streamline travel and transportation across the region. The expressway will feature a hanging bridge over the Chambal River, a critical component for seamless connectivity. Spanning 550 hectares, the project has achieved 95% compensation for land acquisition, with nearly 85% of pre-construction activities completed. A major hurdle has been the clearance to cut 755 trees within the Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ). Overall, the project requires the removal of 4,000 trees. To offset this, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will plant 124,000 trees as part of its environmental commitment. The Gwalior-Agra Greenfield Expressway will integrate Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh with a high-tech transportation network. It promises to cut travel time, facilitate trade, boost tourism, and stimulate industrial growth, transforming regional connectivity. Once operational, the expressway will link Gwalior and Agra efficiently, further tying western Uttar Pradesh with Madhya Pradesh and enhancing economic opportunities across the three states.
