Bihar News: Picture this—driving from Jamui to Banka on a smooth super highway, no bumps, no chaos, just speed and safety. That vision is about to turn real as NH-333A gears up for a 118 KM upgrade into a modern super highway, connecting Bihar and Jharkhand like never before.
For decades, locals demanded better roads between Naraina, Sono, Jhajha, Simultala, and Katoria. Now, the wait is ending. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has already kicked off the consultancy process to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR). Work is expected to begin by late 2026.
This project is more than concrete and tar. It means daily travel will become faster, safer, and more reliable. Families, farmers, and students will finally enjoy easier access to essential services.
NH-333A stretches 134 KM, but only 72 KM is complete. The remaining 62 KM will soon be modernized. In fact, the Katoria to Panjwara stretch (56 KM) will expand into a two-lane paved shoulder highway, ensuring smooth, hassle-free travel.
Moreover, this upgrade will boost Bihar-Jharkhand connectivity. Trade will move quicker, tourism will grow stronger, and rural regions will link better with urban hubs. As a result, the overall pace of regional growth will rise significantly.
A super highway is not just about transport—it reshapes communities. With this project:
Local businesses will grow, thanks to better logistics.
Tourism hotspots like Simultala will attract more visitors.
Jobs will increase, both during construction and after completion.
Farmers will save time in reaching big markets.
Students will access education in nearby cities with ease.
Additionally, the government aims to finish by 2028, which will accelerate development in south Bihar.
Local residents have already welcomed the plan with excitement. Many believe this project will:
Reduce travel time drastically.
Open new opportunities for small businesses.
Connect rural youth with bigger career paths.
Clearly, the highway is more than a road—it’s a gateway to opportunities and growth.
