The Bhandara-Gadchiroli Expressway, officially named the Bhandara-Gadchiroli Access Controlled Super Communication Expressway, is a planned four-lane greenfield project that connects the cities of Vidarbha which are Bhandara, Bramhapuri, Armori and Gadchiroli to Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway via Nagpur-Bhandara-Gondia Expressway.[1]. Proposed as four lanes wide, this segment will reduce the road distance between Bhandara and Gadchiroli and bring down travel time between Gadchiroli and Bhandara further to Nagpur and Mumbai.[2]

Route alignment

The Bhandara-Gadchiroli Expressway will travel through Nagpur, Bhandara, Chandrapur, and Gadchiroli districts directly. [3]
