Cabinet nod to high-speed NH corridor, rail project in Bihar

The cabinet on Wednesday approved the construction of a four-lane greenfield high-speed corridor in Bihar with a total cost of Rs 4,447.38 crore. The project, which will develop access-controlled Mokama-Munger section of the Buxar-Bhagalpur corridor, is going to support average vehicular speeds of 80 kilometre per hour (kmph) that will substantially reduce the overall travel time, while offering safer, and uninterrupted connectivity for both passenger and freight vehicles.
