These two 6-lane expressways may soon connect Bihar, UP, and West Bengal – Check details here

The Indian government is planning a big change for Bihar's roads. Soon, two major expressways will be approved to improve travel between Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) is expected to decide on the exact routes of the Raxaul-Haldia Expressway and Gorakhpur-Siliguri Expressway this month.

Government Working on Final Approvals

A special committee from MoRTH will review and finalise the road plans. Once approved, these new expressways in Bihar will make travel smoother and help trade and business grow.

Raxaul-Haldia Expressway: Boosting Business and Trade

The Raxaul-Haldia Expressway will be very important for businesses in Bihar. This six-lane road will connect Bihar to Haldia Port in West Bengal, making it easier to trade with Nepal and other places.

Route and Districts Covered

The expressway will stretch about 650 km and pass through several districts in Bihar, including:

• West Champaran
• East Champaran
• Muzaffarpur
• Saran
• Patna
• Nalanda
• Sheikhpura
• Jamui
• Banka

This expressway will make travel faster and help businesses grow by improving transport and trade.

Land Buying to Start Soon

Officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) say that once the route is final, they will start buying land for the project. This will help the construction begin quickly.

Gorakhpur-Siliguri Expressway: Connecting North and East India

The Gorakhpur-Siliguri Expressway will be another key road that will make travel between Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal easier. The first plan for this road has been given to MoRTH for approval.

Route and Districts Covered

Starting from the ring road in Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), the expressway will pass through these districts in Bihar:

• East Champaran
• Sheohar
• Sitamarhi
• Darbhanga
• Madhubani
• Supaul
• Araria
• Kishanganj

After Bihar, the road will enter West Bengal, making travel between these states easier and faster.

Mokama-Munger Greenfield Road Project Also Approved

Apart from these expressways, MoRTH has also approved a new Mokama-Munger Greenfield four-lane road. The government is working on buying land for this project. Once built, it will make travel smoother for people living in these areas.
