Hello Readers,
Ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections in Bihar, the central government has approved the construction of a greenfield four lane access-controlled high-speed corridor section in the state at a cost of nearly ₹4,448 crore.

The Mokama-Munger section of the Buxar-Bhagalpur High-Speed Corridor in Bihar will be constructed on Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM) covering about 82.4 km of length, indicating that the HAM model still continues to be preferred mode of road construction at a time when the government is working to give a renewed push to Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model.

With an aim to give a boost to economic activities in the state, the new road project is expected to drive up the freight movement and the traffic on the Mokama-Munger section in the future and give fillip to industrial, food packaging, processing and agro-warehousing businesses. Explore here
