The Bihar Government is planning to construct a 5.5-km mega bridge over river
Ganga near Bakhtiarpur in Patna under PPP model.
The four-lane road bridge between Karjan village on National Highway-31 at
Bakhtiarpur and Tajpur in Samastipur district on National Highway 28 is likely
to be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 1,502 crore on DBFOT basis.
Under the PPP mode, the Union and state governments will give 20 per cent
each and the remaining 60 per cent (amounting to Rs 900 crore) is likely to be
invested by the private investor. The maximum viability gap funding will be of
40 per cent.
Hyderabad based Hindustan Engineering Syndicate (HES) consortium has
expressed interest in the proposed project.
