What’s inside:
This article shares important news about traffic changes on the Bihta-Khagaul road in Patna.
Patna is set to see a major traffic change. From December 18, 2023, until July 15, 2026, all vehicles will be banned on the Bihta-Khagaul main road between Kanhauli and Shivala Chowk. This decision is made to help complete road construction safely and on time.
The National Highway Authority (NHAI) will start extensive construction work in this area. Heavy machinery and construction materials will be on the road, raising safety concerns. To prevent accidents, the local authorities have decided to stop all traffic in this section entirely.
For daily commuters, this means finding new routes. However, to help students in the area, some relief has been given. Limited traffic will be allowed from 7:30 to 8:30 AM and 2:00 to 3:00 PM. Changes to these times may happen if needed.
Alternative routes are set to manage traffic. Vehicles going from Bihta to Patna can use routes like Bihta Chowk → Maner → Danapur Cantt → Patna. Another option is Maner → Sherpur → Chhitnawan → Usri Bazar → Shivala → Patna. Special routes are also planned for smaller vehicles coming from Bhojpur.
Authorities urge everyone to use the designated alternative routes and follow traffic rules to ensure smooth travel. Cooperation from the public is vital for the project to finish on schedule, leading to a better road network in Patna in the future.
Summary:
- Traffic on the Bihta-Khagaul road will be banned from December 18, 2023, to July 15, 2026.
- Construction work by NHAI will lead to this complete traffic stop.
- Limited traffic is allowed during school hours in the morning and afternoon.
