The Nagpur-Bhandara-Gondia Expressway, officially named the Nagpur-Bhandara-Gondia Access Controlled Super Communication Expressway, is a planned six to four-lane greenfield project that connects the cities of Vidarbha which are Nagpur, Bhandara, Tirora and Gondia to Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway.[1] Proposed as six to four lanes wide, this segment will reduce the road distance between Nagpur SEZ and Bhandara-Gondia and bring down travel time between Nagpur SEZ and Bhandara-Gondia further to capital of state Mumbai.[2]
Route alignment
The Nagpur-Bhandara-Gondia Expressway will travel through Nagpur, Bhandara, and Gondia districts directly.[3] The Expressway will be six lanes from Nagpur to Bhandara to cater to high traffic and four lanes from Bhandara to Gondia due to moderate traffic between sections.
