Narmada Expressway: Madhya Pradesh will soon get its largest expressway and the state’s longest road developed by National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The 1200-kilometre-long route will run through 11 MP districts of the state. The Narmada Expressway is four times larger than the Yamuna Expressway. The Narmada Expressway will connect around 30 national highways, state highways, and district roads, clearly boosting development.

The state's highways that connect to this expressway are currently two-lane, although they will eventually be upgraded. After that, this two-lane will become a four-lane. The buildup will benefit people who live in the cities surrounding that route. The project is anticipated to be finished by 2026. The Narmada Expressway will connect Gujarat and Chhattisgarh. It will connect the Anuppur district to Chhattisgarh and Alirajpur to Ahmedabad.
Narmada Expressway To Aid Tourism
The Narmada Expressway will boost the state's tourism industry. Gujarat and Chhattisgarh will also benefit from this. The expressway will facilitate the movement of tourists visiting places like Omkareshwar, Amarkantak, and Bhedaghat-Lametaghat.
