The centre has announced the approval of three major infrastructure projects worth Rs 33.30 billion to improve connectivity in Bihar and Jharkhand.
In Jharkhand’s Dhanbad district, two six-lane elevated flyovers on NH-19 at Barwa Adda-Panagarh in Nirsa and Gobindpur have been approved at a cost of Rs 11.30 billion. This project will decongest urban areas with a grade-separated bypass for smooth traffic flow.
In Bihar’s Kishanganj district, around Rs 11.17 billion has been sanctioned for a 24.85 km four-lane spur linking NH-27 and NH-327E. This economic corridor will reduce travel time and connect key nodes, including Siliguri Airport.
Lastly, the Rs 10.82 billion six-lane access-controlled greenfield corridor from Ramnagar to Kachchi Dargah on NH-119D has been approved in Bihar. As a part of the Amas-Darbhanga highway, it will enhance regional connectivity and streamline freight movement.
