Patna. There is big news related to road connectivity for the people of Bihar. Gorakhpur-Siliguri Greenfield Expressway is going to pass through about 8 districts of the state. This six-lane expressway is expected to provide better connectivity to the areas of North Bihar and Seemanchal with Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
These 8 districts will get benefit
According to the proposed route, the expressway will pass through West Champaran, East Champaran, Sheohar, Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Supaul, Araria and Kishanganj. After entering Bihar from West Champaran, its route will reach Kishanganj and then move towards West Bengal.
