Shaktipeeth Expressway: 802-KM Connectivity Boost For Nagpur-Goa - Check Route, Map, Villages, Other Details

A key feature of the expressway is its connection between Wardha and Sindhudurg, providing improved accessibility to prominent pilgrimage destinations. This connectivity is expected to stimulate both spiritual tourism and economic growth in the region, as devotees and tourists can travel more efficiently.

The expressway begins in Pavnar, Wardha district, and concludes at Patradevi on the Maharashtra-Goa border. Passing through 12 districts—such as Wardha, Yavatmal, Hingoli, Nanded, Parbhani, and Sindhudurg—it offers a faster, more convenient route for travelers while promoting regional tourism and development.

The Nagpur-Goa Shaktipeeth Expressway will become one of India’s longest highways, overtaking the 701-kilometer Nagpur-Mumbai Expressway. Beyond its impressive length, the road symbolizes a bridge between cultural traditions, spiritual landmarks, and the economic aspirations of Maharashtra’s people.

After navigating significant obstacles, the project has now been greenlit. With Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis directing expedited land acquisition, the Rs 86,000-crore initiative has reached a critical stage. Modeled after the successful Samruddhi Expressway, the Shaktipeeth Expressway is a testament to the state’s commitment to improving connectivity and reducing travel times.

Villages from which the expressway will pass include Sangavade, Sangavadewadi, Halasavade, Nerli, Vikaswadi, Kaneriwadi, Kaneri, Kogil Budruk and Khebwade among others.

Spanning a remarkable 805 kilometers, the Shaktipeeth Expressway will be the largest highway in Maharashtra. Its purpose extends beyond travel convenience to include fostering economic development, bridging districts, and creating a seamless link between Nagpur and Goa. This initiative is expected to catalyze growth across multiple sectors, enhancing quality of life for millions.
