Speaking to the people here, Scindia highlighted that the Bypass will comprehensively transform the development and progress of the city, as it would connect directly to the Gwalior Expressway, reducing the travelling time.

"We will be able to cover this distance in 15 minutes, and this distance is 30 kilometres. Gwalior's development was happening in the eastern region, and now that development will also take place in the western region... I have established an international cricket stadium worth 300 crores in Western Gwalior. The Western Expressway will be ready by January 2028... Gwalior's development will happen at the speed of a bullet train," he said.

In an X post, he said that the inspection was done with the resolve to give new momentum to the overall development of Gwalior-Chambal

"...This 28.5 km long Western Bypass, costing approximately ₹1347 crore, will connect the Agra-Gwalior Corridor to the Shivpuri Expressway and open new doors of development in the city's western region. Under the guidance of the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi

ji and with the cooperation of the Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Shri @nitin_gadkari ji, the dream of developing Gwalior as Delhi's 'counter magnet city' is rapidly being realized in the government of the Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri @drmohanyadav51," he wrote in the post.
