Uttar Pradesh Government Approves Major Connectivity Projects During Maha Kumbh

On the occasion of the Maha Kumbh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s government has approved major connectivity projects aimed at enhancing the state’s infrastructure.

In a historic cabinet meeting held on the Triveni coast, the government granted in-principle approval for the 320 km Vindhya Expressway and the 100 km Vindhya-Purvanchal Link Expressway.

CM Yogi emphasized that these expressways would drive the region’s social and economic development, complementing the state’s existing connectivity network across Paschimanchal, Madhyanchal, Purvanchal, and Bundelkhand.

The 320 km Vindhya Expressway will connect Prayagraj, Mirzapur, Varanasi, Chandauli, and Sonbhadra.

Starting from the Ganga Expressway in Prayagraj and ending at NH 39 in Sonbhadra, it will link the Ganga and Vindhya Expressways while also enhancing connectivity to neighboring states like Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.

Additionally, the Vindhya-Purvanchal Link Expressway will span 100 km, linking Chandauli to Ghazipur, the final point of the Purvanchal Expressway.

CM Yogi also announced plans for a new bridge connecting Salori to Hetapatti.

The meeting saw in-principle approval for the construction of new bridges parallel to the Shastri Bridge and Yamuna Signature Bridge.

These bridges will play a vital role in realizing the vision of a Smart Prayagraj.

During the meeting, the government reaffirmed its commitment to a ‘safe and prosperous Uttar Pradesh’.

Cabinet Ministers, Ministers of State (Independent Charge), and Ministers of State were present at the Triveni Complex on the banks of the Ganga, as they took decisions aimed at benefiting the state’s poor, youth, farmers, and women.
