Bihar revives flurry of infra projects

The state government in Bihar has decided to revive the Ganga Path or Ganga driveway and Kachchi Dargah-Bidupur six-lane bridge - the two projects initiated during NDA's first term in the state - will get topmost priority and will be taken over shortly, said official sources that Ganga Path - Patna's own version of Marine Drive - will now be extended and connected to the upcoming six-lane bridge. The department will utilise central funds to construct Patna-Ara-Buxar, Patna-Bakhtiyarpur-Khagaria and Chhapra-Gopalganj roads. Development will get a fresh momentum in the state, they said adding that construction of the proposed Lohiya Path Chakra, Digha-AIIMS elevated road and a flyover opposite the Patna Junction are some of the other projects on the government's priority list.
