'''Raipur–Visakhapatnam Expressway''' ('''NH-130CD'''), part of '''Raipur–Visakhapatnam Economic Corridor (EC-15)''', is a planned greenfield, access-controlled, {{convert|464|km|mi|adj=on}} long, 6-lane expressway through [[Red corridor]] in [[Chhattisgarh]], [[Odisha]] and [[Andhra Pradesh]] states of central and east-central India. From Durg, it runs between [[National Highway 30 (India)|NH-30]] and [[National Highway 130C (India)|NH-130C]] till [[Boriguma]], then runs east of [[National Highway 26 (India)|NH-26]] till [[Sunabeda]] and then west of NH-26 till [[Visakhapatnam]] ([[Vizianagaram]]). Along the way it connects [[Raipur]], [[Kurud]], [[Dhamtari]], [[Kanker, Chhattisgarh|Kanker]], [[Kondagaon]], [[Koraput]], and [[Sabbavaram]] before terminating at [[Visakhapatnam Port]].<ref name=ec1>[https://themetrorailguy.com/nhai-raipur-visakhapatnam-economic-corridor-information-route-map-status/ Raipur – Visakhapatnam Economic Corridor – Information & Status], themetrorailguy.com.</ref>
It is part of [[Bharatmala Pariyojana]] and it connects to [[East Coast Economic Corridor]] ([[Kolkata]] to [[Kanyakumari]]) at Vizianagaram. Sequentially interconnected existing [[National Highway 30 (India)|NH-30]]-[[National Highway 34 (India)|NH-34]]-[[National Highway 539 (India)|NH-539]]-[[National Highway 44 (India)|NH-44]]-[[Yamuna Expressway]] connect Raipur to central and north India such as [[Delhi]], [[Agra]], [[Gwalior]], [[Jhansi]], [[Damoh]], and [[Jabalpur]].

==Proposed future connectivity ==
Following additional connectivity has been proposed by constructing new links.
===NCR CMC hubs of Bhatinda-Hisar-Jaipur-Gwalior ===
There is another proposal to link this corridor to northwestern India by a combination of constructing greenfield stretches and upgrading existing roads through [[National Capital Region (India)#Counter magnets|National Capital Region's Counter Magnet Cities]] (NCR CMC) of [[Bhatinda]]-[[Hisar (city)|Hisar]]-[[Jaipur]] (via [[Karauli]])-[[Gwalior]]. This requires the construction of a road-cum-rail bridge over the [[Chambal River]] between Karauli-[[Taintara]] and/or [[Sirmathura]]-[[Joura]].
* Connect to Bhatinda to connect to [[Pathankot–Ajmer Expressway]] and [[Amritsar–Jamnagar Expressway]].
* Bhatinda-Hisar: Greenfield alignment from Bhatinda - Kullan (between [[Ratia]] and [[Tohana]]) - between [[Bhuna]] and [[Uklanamandi]] - between [[Agroha (town)|Agroha]] and [[Barwala, Hisar|Barwala]], between Barwala and [[Hansi]], intersect with [[Trans–Haryana Expressway]] near [[Mundhal Khurd]] and [[Meham]]. As an independent project, it will continue to [[National Highway 9 (India)|NH-9]], [[Kalanaur, Haryana|Kalanaur]], north of Beri, [[Western Peripheral Expressway]] and [[Bahadurgarh]].
* Hisar-[[Pilani]]-[[Jhunjhunu]] : Upgrade of Hisar (elevated from railway over-bridge near Mangali to Camp Chowk, Jat College and Thandi Sadak over-bridge)-[[Mangali]]-[[Saharwa]] (with a greenfield [[Siwani]]-Sahrwa-Dobeta-[[Kanwari]]-[[Bawani Khera]] spur ). Greenfield alignment from Sharwa to [[Bidhwan]]-[[Bahal, India|Bahal]] to [[Norangpura]] (west of Pilani) to Baragaon (south of Jhunjuhunu on Rajasthan SH-32).
* Jhunjhunu-Jaipur: greenfield Baragaon-Raghunathpura, upgrade existing from Raghunathpura-[[Udaipurwati]]-Kotri Luharwas, greenfield from Kotri Luharwas to Khandela Mod bus stand, upgrade existing route from Khandela Mod bus stand to Srimadhopur-[[Reengus]] to connect it to [[National Highway 52 (India)|NH-52]]. From there greenfield alignment to [[Tonk, India|Tonk]] via Reengus-Hasteda-Gori Ka Bas-Lalpura-Bagru-Phagi-Galod-Tonk resulting in direct access to another NCR CMS city of [[Kota, Rajasthan|Kota]].
* Chambal River, this requires the construction of a greenfield highway and a road-cum-rail bridge over the Chambal River between Karauli-Taintara and/or Sirmathura-Joura with 2 spurs on eastern flank of Chambal - one each to connect to Gwalior and Datia.
===NCR CMG hubs of Ludhiana-Patiala-Ambala-Narnaul-Alwar-===
There is another proposal to link this corridor to [[Trans–Haryana Expressway]] and beyond to [[Delhi–Amritsar–Katra Expressway]], [[Delhi–Mumbai Expressway]] and [[Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project]] by a combination of constructing greenfield stretches and upgrading existing roads through [[Narnaul]]-[[Alwar]]-Karauli-[[Mohana]]-[[Datia]] (and/or Gwalior). Detailed routes will see the upgrade of existing State Highways (SH) to National Highways (NH) such as:
* Rajasthan SH-14 Narnaul-Alwar-Mathura highway, with whole route between narnaul and Mathura to be upgraded for economic corridor and religious Krishna Yatra Circuit.
* Rajasthan SH-25, Alwar-[[Rajgarh, Alwar|Rajgarh]] portion to be upgraded.
* Dalalpura/Machari to Berkhera-Mahwa, greenfield alignment, alternatively the longer existing Rajasthan SH-35 Rajgarh-Mahwa portion can be upgraded.
* Rajasthan SH-22, Mahwa-[[Hindaun|Hindon]]-Karauli portion to be upgraded.
* Chambal River, this requires the construction of a greenfield highway and a road-cum-rail bridge over the Chambal River between Karauli-Taintara and/or Sirmathura-Joura with 2 spurs on eastern flank of Chambal - one each to connect to Gwalior and Datia.
===Eastern Economic Corridor ===
There is a proposal to connect it to [[Eastern Economic Corridor (India)|Eastern Economic Corridor]] ([[Paradeep]] in Odisha to [[Raxaul]] on [[Bihar]]-[[Nepal]] border) by constructing either a spur or a loop in Chhattisgarh.

NCR CMC hubs of Bhatinda-Hisar-Jaipur-Gwalior[edit | edit source]

There is another proposal to link this corridor to northwestern India by a combination of constructing greenfield stretches and upgrading existing roads through National Capital Region's Counter Magnet Cities (NCR CMC) of Bhatinda-Hisar-Jaipur (via Karauli)-Gwalior. This requires the construction of a road-cum-rail bridge over the Chambal River between Karauli-Taintara and/or Sirmathura-Joura.

NCR CMG hubs of Ludhiana-Patiala-Ambala-Narnaul-Alwar-[edit | edit source]

There is another proposal to link this corridor to Trans–Haryana Expressway and beyond to Delhi–Amritsar–Katra Expressway, Delhi–Mumbai Expressway and Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project by a combination of constructing greenfield stretches and upgrading existing roads through Narnaul-Alwar-Karauli-Mohana-Datia (and/or Gwalior). Detailed routes will see the upgrade of existing State Highways (SH) to National Highways (NH) such as:

  • Rajasthan SH-14 Narnaul-Alwar-Mathura highway, with whole route between narnaul and Mathura to be upgraded for economic corridor and religious Krishna Yatra Circuit.
  • Rajasthan SH-25, Alwar-Rajgarh portion to be upgraded.
  • Dalalpura/Machari to Berkhera-Mahwa, greenfield alignment, alternatively the longer existing Rajasthan SH-35 Rajgarh-Mahwa portion can be upgraded.
  • Rajasthan SH-22, Mahwa-Hindon-Karauli portion to be upgraded.
  • Chambal River, this requires the construction of a greenfield highway and a road-cum-rail bridge over the Chambal River between Karauli-Taintara and/or Sirmathura-Joura with 2 spurs on eastern flank of Chambal - one each to connect to Gwalior and Datia.

Eastern Economic Corridor[edit | edit source]

There is a proposal to connect it to Eastern Economic Corridor (Paradeep in Odisha to Raxaul on Bihar-Nepal border) by constructing either a spur or a loop in Chhattisgarh.

Status updates[edit | edit source]

  • Feb 2020: The expressway was added to Bharatmala Pariyojana and approved.[2]
