The proposed 358-km Jabalpur–Ashapur corridor was among five projects reviewed at MPRDC’s board meeting on November 5. Amar Ujala reported that day that consultants were examining feasibility and route options for the four-lane, access-controlled road.
The board authorised feasibility reports, with detailed project reports to follow where proposals prove viable. The Tribune’s November 6 report also describes the planning process.
The five-corridor programme totals 1,398 km, with an estimated combined cost of ₹63,296 crore. These figures cover the entire programme, rather than the Jabalpur route alone. The projects remain in preparation.
