| Project Detail : | The construction work of ?411.32 crore double-decker flyover in Chhapra district in Bihar has been kick-started. The Bihar Rajya Pul Nirman Nigam, the project’s executing agency, has begun the process of uploading steel girders over the lower deck’s pillars and casting the upper deck’s pillars. Sushil Kumar, Executive Engineer, informed that ramps are being constructed at Municipal Chowk to connect Thana Chowk towards the southern side and Gandhi Chowk to connect Nehru Chowk towards the northern side. The proposed alignment will begin at Police Lines and end near Rajendra Sarowar on the town’s western outskirts, passing through Gandhi Chowk and Rajendra Chowk. The flyover’s lower deck is intended to be used by vehicles approaching from the east, including Patna and Hajipur. On the other hand, the upper deck will terminate near the bus stop and will be used by vehicles arriving from Siwan, Baniapur, and Uttar Pradesh, among other places. For construction, the 3.5km-long double-decker flyover has been divided into five zones — Bhikhari Thakur Chowk to Gandhi Chowk (1265.50m) and then to Katahari Bag (197.40m), Katahari Bag to Salempur Chowk (951.30m), Municipal Chowk to Rajendra Sarowar (661.20m), and Rajendra Sarowar to bus stand (427.70m). Dineshwar Pathak, the deputy general manager of the construction firm, informed that the width of the flyover’s lower and upper decks would be 5.5m, while the road on the ground would be 8m wide. The flyover will have a height of 7.5m between its two decks and a total height of 15m above ground
