Maharashtra Approves Nagpur-Chandrapur Expressway Project
Imagine a new highway being built between two cities in Maharashtra.
The government decided to build a brand-new, four-lane road between Nagpur and Chandrapur.
This road will be 204 kilometers long and cost over two thousand crore rupees.
There will also be a smaller road to get directly into Chandrapur.
This is part of a plan to make it easier to travel in the area, and improve the economy.
The government also wants to make rest stops with amenities like bathrooms and places to eat along the way.

The project includes a 204-km four-lane concrete expressway.
