Detailed Project Report (DPR) including preliminary survey work is awarded for Gorakhpur-Silliguri, Raxual-Haldia and Patna-Purnia Corridors.

The construction work for additional 3-lane bridge over River Ganga at Buxar on NH- 922 has already been sanctioned by the Government. It has been decided to take up the DPR for spur connectivity of Bodh Gaya, Rajgir, Vaishli, and Darbhanga.

Aamas-Darbhanga National Highway project is delayed mainly due to delay in physical possession of encumbrance free land.

This information was given by the The Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
