Bakhtiyarpur-Tajpur Ganga Bridge, a mega infrastructure project in Bihar costing Rs 1,822 crore, is progressing steadily, and is expected to be completed by May 2026.

With 65 percent of the work already completed, the bridge will connect National Highway 31 near Bakhtiyarpur on the southern bank of the Ganga with National Highway 28 in Samastipur district on the northern bank. This bridge will provide a vital alternative route, improving connectivity between South and North Bihar. It is also seen as strategically important for regional development.

The Chief Secretary of Bihar, Pratyaya Amrit, recently reviewed the project’s progress and urged officials to resolve any delays, including issues related to road overbridges connected to the bridge. The project is on track for its completion, with officials ensuring that obstacles to construction are cleared swiftly.
