Need for developing robust north-south corridor in UP: CM

UTTAR Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday highlighted the need for developing a robust north-south corridor to transform the state's connectivity. Emphasising that most of the existing highways and expressways in the state are concentrated along the east-west axis, he said it was now imperative to build a strong corridor linking districts from the Nepal border in the north to the southernmost parts of the state, according to a press statement.

Presenting this vision during a review meeting of the Public Works Department (PWD), Adityanath proposed that the sections falling under the national highways be developed with the support of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) while the construction, strengthening and widening of the remaining routes should be undertaken at the state level.
