The copy of the GR was tweeted by Chavan.

An agency will be appointed to prepare a detailed project report for the proposed project. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has been appointed as an implementing authority of this project, it said.

The proposed road will intersect the under-construction Samruddhi Expressway which will connect to Jalna.

The GR for the Jalna-Nanded expressway has been sanctioned. Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has been cooperating for the same since the beginning. This will benefit Parbhani, Nanded and Hingoli districts of Marathwada, Chavan tweeted.
