Centre sanctions ₹18,000-cr Patna-Kolkata NH project
The Central government has accepted the proposal of Bihar to construct a 450 km long expressway directly connecting Patna and Kolkata involving an investment of ₹18,000 crore. State Road Construction Minister, Nitin Naveen, informed that the proposed expressway will be constructed by the Union transport ministry and will pass through five districts of the parent state. The construction work will start shortly as it is being built by NHAI with a 6-lane access-controlled highway between Bihar and West Bengal. The highway will start from Dankuni in Hoogly district of West Bengal and pass through Patna (Bakhtiarpur), Nalanda (Biharsharif), Sheikhpura, Jamui (Sikandra and Chakai) and Banka (Katoria) districts of Bihar. The expressway enters Jharkhand in Devipur of Deoghar district and connects a four-lane road headed to AIIMS Deoghar. It is being taken up under the Bharatmala Pariyojana (BMP) Phase 2. The project will be constructed on the lines of UP's Purvanchal Expressway.
