Lucknow, September 15, 2026: The Yogi Adityanath Cabinet approved a revised plan for the Chitrakoot Link Expressway, with a budget of Rs 1,008.67 crore, on Tuesday. The State Government will finance the entire project, which is expected to span 15.172 kilometres as a six-lane access-controlled greenfield expressway. Finance Minister Suresh Khanna announced that the expressway will be built under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) mode, after the Expenditure Finance Committee evaluated the capital expenditure components.
Upon approval, the process for selecting the construction agency will commence, inviting global bids for the project. Once the selection process concludes, construction of the expressway will proceed. The Chitrakoot Link Expressway aims to enhance travel between Bundelkhand and Chitrakoot Dham, the latter being a significant religious and tourist destination.
By facilitating smoother and more efficient transportation for visitors from remote regions, the expressway is anticipated to boost tourism activities and stimulate economic growth in the region.
