Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary orders completion of Patna Sahib link road
The Chief Minister inspected the Rs 52.54 crore project to ensure high quality and timely delivery of the 1.5-kilometre road.
Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary inspected the construction of a 1.5-kilometre link road connecting Patna Sahib Railway Station to Patna Ghat on November 14. According to ANI and The News Mill, the Chief Minister instructed officials to finish the work by the set deadline while maintaining high standards.
The project, part of the JP Ganga Path, began construction on April 5, 2025, at a cost of Rs 52.54 crore. Road Construction Department Principal Secretary Pankaj Kumar Pal briefed the Chief Minister on the progress during the inspection near Patna City.
The development includes a flyover on Ashok Rajpath and will connect the JP Ganga Path to the new NH-30 through a Road Over Bridge at the Patna Sahib Railway Station. Choudhary said the road will provide a direct connection between the station and the JP Ganga Path, reducing vehicle density in Marufganj Mandi and the Ashok Rajpath zones.
The Chief Minister noted that the infrastructure would benefit residents in Charkhipar, Dalhatta, and nearby areas by making travel smoother. He stated that the link road would help regulate traffic flow and simplify commuting for people living in Patna City.
Other officials present at the site included Urban Development and Housing Department Secretary Animesh Parashar, Municipal Commissioner Yashpal Meena, and District Magistrate Kundan Kumar.
