| Gorakhpur Link Expressway set to become the seventh operational expressway | | | Early Times Report
Gorakhpur, June 19: The Gorakhpur Link Expressway, developed by the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA), is set to be inaugurated by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath this Friday. With this, Uttar Pradesh will have its seventh operational expressway. Notably, five of these seven expressways have been completed in the last eight years under the leadership of CM Yogi Adityanath. Currently, construction is underway on three additional expressways, while eight more are in the proposal stage.
