The Khagaria-Purnea four lane highway will soon become a reality, bringing a major boost to road connectivity in Bihar. Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari announced that the ₹4,000 crore project has received approval and work will begin soon. The Khagaria-Purnea four lane highway is expected to reduce travel time and improve safety.
The new highway will stretch for about 143 kilometres between Khagaria and Purnea. At present, the road is narrow and crowded. Daily commuters often face traffic jams and accidents. The new four-lane road will make travel smoother and faster.
Nitin Gadkari said the detailed project report is ready. The tender process has also been completed. Construction work will start within a month after final cabinet clearance.
The project will help farmers, traders, and transporters. It will improve the movement of goods and support local businesses. Better roads will also attract new investments to the region.
The highway is expected to strengthen Bihar’s road network and improve overall development in eastern districts.
