What’s inside:
This article talks about the construction of 220 railway bridges in Bihar to ease traffic at railway gates.
Good news for people traveling by train in Bihar! The state government has decided to build 220 railway over bridges (ROB) and railway under bridges (RUB) at various railway gates across districts like Patna, Phulwarisharif, Danapur, and Masodhi. This project aims to put an end to the long traffic jams that often happen at these gates.
In a significant move, the Bihar government will cover all the costs for this construction. This means that the project will not face any financial issues, allowing work to proceed smoothly. The Road Construction Department will manage the entire project and work closely with the Railways to ensure everything is on track.
The project is set to be completed within 18 months, benefiting around 20 lakh people. Usually, rail projects can be delayed due to the need for No Objection Certificates (NOC), but with this agreement in place, such delays will not be a problem, ensuring timely completion of the work.
Key railway routes like Patna-Gaya, Motihari, Muzaffarpur, and Darbhanga will see improvements with these new bridges. Busy gates, including Phulwarisharif-Danapur and Katihar, are among those targeted for construction. These bridges will help ease traffic flow and reduce accidents.
Work is expected to begin soon, with the Road Construction Department gearing up to start. This project will enhance connectivity in Bihar, making it easier for people to travel from rural areas to main roads and improving overall infrastructure.
Summary:
- 220 railway bridges will be built in Bihar.
- The Bihar government will fund the entire project.
- Completion is expected in 18 months.
- Key railway routes and busy gates will be improved.
- The project will enhance connectivity across the state.
