Patna. There is good news for the people living in Bhagalpur and surrounding areas of Bihar. Work is progressing on a big project to improve road connectivity here. On National Highway-133E, the 36.6 km long road from Bhagalpur to Kharhara village via Dhaka turn will be made four lane. A tender worth Rs 583.47 crore has been issued for this project.
Road construction will be completed in two years
This project will be constructed under the EPC model. According to the issued tender, interested construction companies can apply online till 24 December 2026. Whereas, the technical bid will be opened on 31 December 2026. The selected agency will have to complete the road construction within 24 months after the start of work.
Relief from jam and travel will be easier
With the construction of a four-lane road, traffic between Bhagalpur and Dhaka Mod will become more convenient than before. Currently, due to the pressure of vehicles on this route and limited width of the road, people often have to face traffic jams. With the construction of the new road, movement of buses and trucks will become easier. It can also help in reducing the chances of road accidents and saving travel time.
