Patna: The double-decker flyover on Ashok Rajpath, aimed at easing congestion on one of Patna’s busiest roads, is in its final phase of construction. The Rs 422 crore project is expected to be completed by the end of March and inaugurated in the last week of April, according to Road Construction Minister Nitin Nabin, who inspected the site on Friday.
Key Features of the Flyover
The 2.2km-long structure will have two levels:
- First level (1.5km): Connecting Patna College to BN College
- Second level: Stretching from Kargil Chowk to Science College
The flyover is also designed for integration with Patna Metro, the Bakarganj Nala road project, and the proposed multi-level parking facility at PMCH. It will be linked to Krishna Ghat via the JP Ganga Path (Patna River Front).
Relief for Commuters and Businesses
Once operational, the flyover is expected to ease congestion around key locations such as PMCH, Patna University, and Patna City. Beneficiaries will include students, patients, and traders, who frequently face traffic bottlenecks in the area.
Modern Infrastructure for a Growing City
Built with advanced construction technology, the flyover marks a historic transformation in Patna’s traffic management. It will streamline vehicle movement between Gandhi Maidan, Science College, and Patna College, significantly reducing road-level congestion.
Minister Nitin Nabin expressed confidence that the project will be a game-changer for the city, offering a modern, well-organised transport system for millions of residents.
