Chandauli-Ghazipur Greenfield Expressway: 3D Mapping Complete, Land Acquisition Next

• The 'Green Field Expressway' from Syedraja to Maharajganj in Ghazipur, costing ₹3000 crore, has completed its 3D mapping.
• NHAI is accelerating land acquisition and farmer compensation for the 42 km long expressway.
• The route will cover 28 villages in Chandauli district, including 5 from Sakaldiha block and 23 from Sadar block.
• This expressway will reduce travel distance between Chandauli and Ghazipur and boost economic activities.
• It will connect to the Varanasi-Gorakhpur four-lane highway at Maharajganj, bypassing Varanasi city traffic for commuters from Gorakhpur, Mau, and Azamgarh.

Why It Matters: 3D mapping for the Chandauli-Ghazipur Greenfield Expressway is complete, paving the way for land acquisition.
