After HC nudge, NHAI invites bids for 6-six lane bridge on Ganga, 9th in Patna
The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has invited bids floated a tender to build a 14.52 kilometres long six-lane bridge across the river Ganga between Sherpur of Danapur and Dighwara in Saran district, the ninth such bridge in Patna district on the river that cuts Bihar into two halves, officials said.
The NHAI has allocated ₹4994.79 crore to construct a 9.45-km-long bridge along with 5.07-km-long approach road. The upcoming bridge, scheduled to be completed within the next three years, will have ramps at Gangahara in the riverine areas between the streams of Ganga.
The tender was floated on Thursday, days after NHAI chairman Alka Upadhyay attended the hearing of a related case in the chamber of Patna High Court chief justice Sanjay Karol and assured of prompt action to resolve the issues hampering the execution of all national highway projects in Bihar.
