PATNA: Stage is now set for construction of the much-awaited 23-km long 4-lane elevated corridor between Danapur and Bihta after the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) agreeing to modify the design of its eastern end to avoid vehicular congestion near the Danapur railway station.
The divisional railway office of Danapur will part with an additional 12 acre land and NHAI has given its consent to increase length of the ramp falling on Danapur-Saguna by 250 metres. It will lead to additional expenses of ₹25 crore to NHAI.
An agreement to this effect was arrived at a meeting chaired by chief secretary Amir Subhani and attended by additional chief secretary, roads, Pratyay Amrit and divisional rail manager (DRM), Danapur, Prabhat Kumar, a fortnight ago.
