In the geography and history of Bihar, on one hand Kosi River was called the ‘sorrow of Bihar’ for centuries, on the other hand, now the days of this region are going to be prosperous and this tale of sorrow is going to change into new golden chapters of prosperity forever. A very big and revolutionary news is coming out which will prove to be a historical milestone on the development path of Bihar, under which the mega blueprint for the construction of a total 354 km long state-of-the-art four-lane expressway along with long embankments built on both the banks of Kosi river has been completely prepared. This project is no less than a boon for the areas of Kosinchal and Seemanchal, which have been facing the havoc of floods, erosion and huge traffic problems for decades. This expressway, which is going to be built under this mega project with the joint efforts of the Central and State Governments, will not only completely change the regional traffic, but will also provide direct connectivity to the major expressway networks and industrial corridors of the country. With the implementation of this project, the pace of economic and social development of North Bihar will accelerate to a level which was difficult to even imagine earlier. Let us know in detail what is the complete outline of this 354 km long four lane expressway to be built on both the embankments of Kosi and what unprecedented benefits it is going to provide to the general public and the industry.
This project is being considered as the most ambitious project till date in the direction of strengthening the road infrastructure in Bihar. This four-lane road, which will be built over and parallel to the eastern and western embankments of the Kosi River, will also give unprecedented speed to relief and rescue operations during floods, because till now these areas were almost cut off from the rest of the world during floods. With the construction of this modern expressway, the journey from Patna to Nepal border and other neighboring parts of Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal will be very easy, safe and completed in less time. A new and accessible corridor for heavy commercial vehicles, trucks and freight trains will create immense investment opportunities in the field of logistics and warehousing in the entire region. Let us know what are the main features of this mega project and what new doors of development it is going to open at the local level.
Main features and technical features of this 354 km long four-lane expressway
The engineering design of this 354 km long four-lane expressway, which will be built along the alignment and connecting the two embankments of the Kosi River, has been prepared at a very modern and advanced level. The main points related to this project are as follows:
-
Anti-earthquake and flood technology: Keeping in mind the geographical location and sensitive topography of Kosi region, this road will be constructed on such high level technical standards that it can easily withstand the extreme water pressure and floods.
-
High-Speed Corridors and Connectivity: With the construction of this four lane, the drivers will get the opportunity to travel at high speed without any traffic obstruction, which will lead to huge saving of both time and fuel.
-
Development of Economic Corridors: This will pave the way for the development of industrial clusters, agro-based processing units and mandis on both sides of the road, which will create lakhs of new employment opportunities for the local youth.
Economic prosperity will come for farmers, traders and common citizens of Kosi region.
Local farmers and traders are going to get the biggest benefit from this project, which will sow the seeds of prosperity in the region of Kosi, which is called the river of sorrow. Till now, due to poor roads and lack of means of transport, farmers had to face huge difficulties in transporting maize, paddy, jute and other agricultural products to big markets on time and the transportation cost was also very high. With the construction of this four-lane expressway, farmers’ products will be able to directly reach the markets of big cities and metros in less time, which will enable them to get fair and better prices for their produce. Apart from this, this area will also develop rapidly in the field of tourism because with better connectivity, tourists from India and abroad will be able to come here easily. The work on this mega project has been started rapidly by the government and related construction agencies, and in the coming few years it will be completely ready as a modern expressway, which will truly prove to be the beginning of a new era in the history of Kosi region.
