State Urban Development Minister Nitin Nabin has approved ₹12.18 crore for a 1.7-km road construction in Transport Nagar, Kankarbagh, Patna, aimed at improving connectivity and easing movement for millions of residents.

Patna’s Transport Nagar, a pivotal commercial hub in Bihar’s capital, is set to undergo a significant road upgrade with an allocation of ₹12.18 crore. This initiative aims to enhance infrastructure, alleviate traffic congestion, and improve overall connectivity in the area.

Project Overview:

The Bihar State Road Development Corporation Limited (BSRDCL) has been entrusted with the execution of this project. The comprehensive plan includes resurfacing existing roads, constructing new drainage systems to prevent waterlogging, installing adequate street lighting, and implementing traffic management solutions to streamline vehicular movement.

Significance of Transport Nagar:

Transport Nagar serves as a central node for goods transportation and logistics in Patna. However, over the years, the area has faced challenges such as deteriorating road conditions, inadequate drainage, and traffic congestion, which have hindered efficient operations and posed safety concerns.

Expected Benefits:

• Improved Traffic Flow: The road upgrade is anticipated to reduce bottlenecks, facilitating smoother transit for heavy vehicles and daily commuters.
• Enhanced Safety: With better road surfaces and proper lighting, the risk of accidents is expected to decrease, ensuring safer travel for all road users.
• Economic Boost: Enhanced infrastructure is likely to attract more businesses to the area, thereby stimulating economic growth and creating job opportunities.

Timeline and Implementation:

The project is slated to commence in the upcoming quarter, with a targeted completion timeline of 18 months. BSRDCL has outlined a phased approach to minimize disruptions to existing traffic and commercial activities. Authorities plan to engage with local businesses, transport unions, and residents to ensure that the development aligns with the community’s needs and to address any concerns during the construction phase.

Complementary Developments in Patna:

This road upgrade is part of a broader strategy to improve Patna’s urban infrastructure. Notably, the city is also witnessing the construction of a 9.09-km elevated road connecting Saristabad and AIIMS-Patna along the New Bypass, with an investment of ₹1,300 crore. This project aims to transform road infrastructure and provide smooth traffic flow in the state capital.

Upon completion, the project is expected to significantly improve transportation efficiency, enhance safety, and contribute to the city’s economic vitality.
