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. 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.
