PATNA: The Centre on Monday sanctioned Rs6,804 crore for brand new national highways (NHs) and a four-lane bridge across the Ganga parallel to the existing Vikramshila Setu near Barari Ghat in Bhagalpur district. The initiatives could be over and above the special bundle that PM Narendra Modi had introduced for the state during electioneering for the then assembly election in August 2015.
“The 8 initiatives sanctioned by means of the Centre on Monday include 357km of extra NH of which 112km stretch is to be four-lane road and the remainder 245km can be 10 metres large,” state road construction department (RCD) minister Nand Kishore Yadav stated over phone from Delhi. The 4.37km-long bridge includes an expenditure of Rs1,900 crore and would also have 10.6km-long manner road on both sides. He stated the four-lane bridge could be constructed by means of the NHAI and the roads involved by means of the NH wing of the state RCD.
Yadav stated the initiatives cleared integrated a couple of four-lane NH roads — 50km-long Samastipur-Darbhanga road at a price of Rs1,612 crore and 62km of Bhagalpur-Dhaka Mor road involving an expenditure of Rs1,121 crore.
The 10-metre large NH and their allotted expenditures cleared at the assembly include the 64km-long Buxar-Chausa-Mohania road (Rs960 crore), 75km of Hajipur-Bachhwara road (Rs552 crore), 18km of Sarwan-Chakai road (Rs80 crore), 78km of Rosera-Bahedi Darbhanga road (Rs452 crore) and 10km-long Saraigarh-Lalganj-Ganpatganj road (Rs127 crore).
Yadav stated the 8 initiatives had been cleared on Monday at a meeting involving him and Union road transport and national highway secretary Y S Malik, state leader secretary Deepak Kumar, NHAI chairman Sanjeev Ranjan and state RCD foremost secretary Amrit Lal Meena. The assembly was convened to study the standing of the Rs1.57 lakh crore special bundle and Rs54,700 crore allotted for the NHs that the PM had introduced at his Ara assembly in 2015.
