A 4.5 Km long, 6-lane bridge will soon come up across the river Ganga, connecting two important districts Patna and Saran in the state of Bihar.
The decision was taken in the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, approving the vital project. The project is targeted to be completed in 42 months from the appointed date.
“6-lane high level/extra dosed cable-stayed bridge across river Ganga (parallel to the western side of existing Digha-Sonepur rail-cum road bridge) and its approaches on both sides in the Districts of Patna and Saran (NH-139W) in the State of Bihar on EPC mode,” Ministry of Road & Transport mentioned in a communique.
