Jharsuguda: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik will inaugurate the much awaited Biju Expressway today. He will inaugurate the Sambalpur-Rourkela stretch of Biju Expressway at Panchpada High School in Jharsuguda.
The construction work of the Biju Expressway has been completed between Sambalpur and Rourkela. Later, the project will connect four districts of western Odisha like Bargarh, Sambalpur, Jharsuguda and Sundergarh with Koraput, Nabarangpur, Kalahandi and Nuapada.
The expressway will also connect many border towns of western and south Odisha like Chandli, Boriguma, Nabarangpur, Papadahandi, Ambapani, Dharmagarh, Sinapali, Behella, Nuapada, Paikmal, Padmapur, Sohela, Bargarh, Sambalpur, Jharsuguda, Sundergarh, and Rourkela.
Apart from boosting agriculture, trade, commerce and social sector development, the expressway, for which the state government has allocated Rs 3200 crore, would support the state’s initiatives in mainstreaming the socially and economically backward people.
