The construction of a new bridge parallel to Gandhi Setu over the Ganga at an investment of Rs. 3,000 crore is set to start very shortly. The new bridge is a part of a special package announced by PM for Bihar and will be around 15 km long, including the approach road. Unlike Gandhi Setu, the main bridge will not exceed 5.575km and will be completed in four years' time. The matter has been sent to the public investment board (PIB) and once it approves the tender, the process will start shortly after that. The project is being restructured by MORTH, which has selected AFCONS-SIBMOST JV to execute the project. Construction of a new four-lane bridge will not face any land issue as there is no need to acquire land from private people. The bridge will come up west of Gandhi Setu as the existing one is not in good shape. Work on the Kachchi-Dargah to Bidupur bridge is also going on at a fast face and also the ambitious Kachchi Dargah-Bidupur six-lane bridge, for which the construction work is currently in full swing, is slated for completion by January 2021.
