This article shares news about the approval for widening a key highway in Bihar, enhancing connectivity between Samastipur and Darbhanga.
The Government of India has approved a big project to widen and strengthen a national highway in Bihar. This 23.95 km stretch from Basudevpur in Samastipur to Dilahi in Darbhanga is crucial for local travel. The project is set to cost ₹225.66 crore and is expected to be completed by 2027.
This highway upgrade is very important for the people living in Samastipur and Darbhanga districts. It will help improve traffic flow, making travel easier and safer for everyone. Alongside the widening of the road, there will be maintenance work for five years after the project is finished.
The new road will reduce traffic jams and boost local businesses. It aims to speed up economic activities in the area, creating a better environment for trade and industry. The state government is committed to ensuring that the project is completed on time and meets quality standards.
As part of the plan, five existing large bridges will stay as they are, with a new big bridge being built on Jatamalpur. Some smaller bridges will be rebuilt, and new drainage boxes will be added to improve road safety. Special attention will be given to features like bus lanes and traffic signs to ensure smooth traffic.
Once this road is finished, it will greatly improve travel between Samastipur and Darbhanga. It will also help connect remote areas of the state with Patna, making it possible to reach the capital in just four hours.
