| Project Detail : | The construction work on the nine-km long multi-level Mithapur-Mahuli stretch in Patna has begun. The project involves an investment of ?1,030 crore with a completion deadline of March 2024. Once completed, it will decongest traffic on Patna Bypass, which serves as an entry and exit points for vehicular movement. Additional Chief Secretary, road construction, Amrit Lal Meena, informed that about 85% of the land identified for the project has already been acquired and its possession has been transferred to the Afcons Infrastructure, the contractor of the project. The Mithapur-Mahuli road stretch will also serve as an exit route from Patna and connect traffic with the under-construction Patna-Gaya four-lane road along the Patna-Gaya railway line. It originates from the Mithapur flyover on Budh Marg and terminates at Parsa via Sipara in both grade and elevated mode. Out of the targeted cost, a sum of ?668.79 crore is likely to be spent on the civil work of the project. Among others, the Mithapur-Mahuli road would also provide a viable alternative for traffic thereby averting the likely congestion on Patna Gaya road near Ramchak Bairiya after the interstate bus terminal (ISBT) becomes fully operational later this year
