The Bihar road repair policy aims to upgrade and maintain urban roads for the next seven years. Under this new plan, the state will focus on long-term maintenance and better quality. The Bihar road repair policy covers thousands of kilometres across districts and ensures faster, safer travel for the public.
The Road Construction Department will repair nearly 19,360 km of urban roads. Out of this, about 14,225 km are already in use, and 5,135 km are newly approved. The work will be divided into 100 packages, and 100 agencies will be selected. One agency may handle more than one package.
The government plans to spend around ₹22,956 crore on these repairs. This amount is almost four times higher than the budget of the previous OPRMC 2 scheme. Agencies must repair every defect during the seven-year maintenance period. They also need to renew the blacktop at least once, not just fill potholes.
Up to 40% of payment will be cut for negligence. The new policy will soon be sent for cabinet approval. The state wants safer, smoother roads and strict monitoring for better results.
