Madhya Pradesh Approves Greenfield Expressways to Reduce Travel Times Between Key Cities
The Madhya Pradesh government has approved major greenfield expressway projects to improve connectivity and reduce travel times. A Rs 15,000 crore project will halve travel time between Bhopal and Raipur by constructing a new expressway and upgrading roads to six lanes. Separately, a Rs 4,000 crore greenfield corridor is planned to cut Bhopal-Indore travel from about four hours to two and a half. Both projects aim to enhance regional infrastructure with high-speed, access-controlled roads.
