Patna. A major step has been taken towards the expansion of modern road network in Bihar. The state government has started preparations to develop three new four-lane riverfront expressways along the banks of rivers Ganga and Gandak. These projects, approximately 220 kilometers long, are aimed at providing better connectivity to different parts of the state and giving a new impetus to economic activities.
Work will be done on three major expressways
Under the plan, three separate riverfront expressways will be developed, named Vishwamitra Path, Ambika Path and Narayani Path. These projects are set to be developed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, which will accelerate infrastructure development and also limit the government financial burden.
Traveling from Vishwamitra Path to UP will be easy
The proposed Vishwamitra Path will be approximately 90 kilometers long. This route will connect Maner, Arrah and Buxar to the major expressway network of Uttar Pradesh. After its construction, travel from Bihar to Lucknow and Delhi can become easier and take less time. The districts of Western Bihar are likely to get special benefits from this.
Patna area will get relief from Ambika Path
The aim of the approximately 56 km long Ambika Path is to strengthen the traffic system of Patna and its surrounding areas. This route will provide alternative travel facilities to the people by connecting to many important bridges and connectivity routes. Its construction can help in reducing the increasing traffic pressure in the capital region.
Narayani Path will boost business
The proposed Narayani Path along the banks of river Gandak will be approximately 74 kilometers long. This route will provide better road connectivity to Saran and Gopalganj area. Besides, it will give new impetus to goods transportation and business activities by increasing connectivity with the East-West Corridor. This project can also play an important role in the development of Diara areas.
