Sahibganj bypass in Jharkhand to be linked with Manihari bypass in Bihar

Sahibganj bypass in Jharkhand to be linked with Manihari bypass in Bihar

India Blooms News Service | | 13 Oct 2016, 02:40 pm
New Delhi, Oct 13: The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Thursday, approved the construction of a new link between Sahibganj bypass in Jharkhand to Manihari bypass in Bihar, including a four-lane bridge on river Ganga.

The cost is estimated to be Rs.1954.77 crore, including cost of land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation and other pre-construction activities.

The total length of the road to be developed is approximately 22 kms.

This work will be done under the National Highways (Others) on Hybrid Annuity Mode.

The concession period of the Project is 19 years including a construction period of four years.

The new link road will be approximately 16 km long starting (km.200.87 of Sahibganj Pass in Jharkhand) to another six km long near Narenpur (junction of NH-133B and NH-131A on Manihari bypass in Bihar).

This stretch also includes a four-lane Bridge on Ganga river.

The project will help in expediting the improvement of infrastructure in Bihar and Jharkhand and also in reducing the time and cost of travel for traffic, particularly heavy traffic, plying in the area in these states, stated a release.

The new project highway is a new formation of the missing link at NH-131A to NH-133B connecting Sahibganj in Jharkhand and Manihari in Bihar.

At present, there is a missing link between Jharkhand to Bihar as there is no bridge on the river Ganga at this location.

The vehicular traffic uses Vikramshila Setu at Bhagalpur on Farakka barrage thus travelling a long distance to reach their destinations in North Bihar.
