Bihar’s Big Leap: ₹33,000 Crore Annual Plan Approved for New Bypasses and Elevated Corridors!
Imagine cruising through Bihar without potholes, chokepoints, or long detours. That future just got closer.
In a landmark decision, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has greenlit Bihar’s ₹33,000 crore annual work plan for the financial year 2025-26. Shared by Bihar’s Road Construction Minister , this plan marks a giant leap for road infrastructure across the state.
As part of the plan, ₹19,981 crore will be invested in upgrading 526 kilometers of roads into two and four-lane stretches. The projects include key connectors like:
Dhaka Mod to Beljhar
Vikramshila Approach Road
Masrakh–Chakia–Bhittha Mod
Bettiah to Bagaha
Arwal to Bihar Sharif
Naubatpur Bazaar Road
Bariarpur to Bishunpur
Each of these roadways has the potential to reduce traffic, cut travel time, and boost inter-district trade.
The government has also approved seven new bypasses under this masterplan. These will span 74 KM in total and cost around ₹6,040 crore. The bypasses are proposed at:
Dumraon
Arwal
Daudnagar
Aurangabad
Singheshwar
VTR (Valmiki Tiger Reserve region)
Samastipur
This expansion is designed to redirect heavy traffic away from city centers, making both urban and rural roads safer and faster.
In addition, 227 kilometers of new two-lane roads will be constructed with an allocation of ₹1,597 crore. These will strengthen connectivity in less-developed zones, enhancing accessibility to remote towns and villages.
One of the most awaited approvals is the 10-kilometer long Anisabad to AIIMS Elevated Corridor in Patna. This ₹1,308 crore project will finally streamline travel for thousands who face daily congestion on this crucial stretch.
For urban Patna, this could mean smoother commutes, reduced pollution, and better emergency response time to AIIMS.
Not just roads—₹3,758 crore has been set aside for bridge development, along with ₹2,085 crore for 19 new Rail Over Bridges (ROBs). This includes the proposed Didarganj to Saristabad Elevated Road, further enhancing Patna’s modern skyline.
These projects will not only ease traffic but also strengthen flood-resilient infrastructure in vulnerable zones.
Bihar’s vision is finally aligning with real-time execution. With DPRs for ₹18,000+ crore projects already ready, construction is likely to commence post monsoon, pending final sanction letters—expected by August 15.
The collaboration between Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Bihar’s PWD minister Nitin Navin signals a new era for Bihar’s connectivity and logistics.
