About the project

Four-laning NH-34 across the Sagar–Chhatarpur corridor

The Government of India, through the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), has entrusted the development, maintenance and four-laning of the Satai Ghat (Darguwan) to Chowka (Matguwan) section of NH-34 — from Design Chainage 89+875 (Existing Km 90.299) to Design Chainage 145+000 (Existing Km 143.663), a total length of 55.125 km — in the State of Madhya Pradesh, executed as Package-3.

The corridor forms part of the wider Kanpur–Sagar economic corridor, improving connectivity through Sagar and Chhatarpur districts, reducing travel time and vehicle operating costs, and strengthening the national highway network for the efficient movement of goods and passengers.
