These days, the wind of development is blowing in Patna, the capital of Bihar, in such a way that the picture of the everyday journey of the common people seems to be changing completely. The old and painful story of long traffic jams and being stuck in queues of vehicles for hours is slowly becoming a part of the past. Especially for the daily commuters traveling in Patna Junction and its surrounding areas, the Bihar Government and the Road Construction Department have given such a wonderful gift, which could only be imagined a few years ago. Now it will not take hours to travel from Patna Junction to Mahuli, rather this distance will be covered in just 7 minutes. This miracle has been made possible by two new and modern flyovers, which have been dedicated to the public after the completion of their construction work. The commencement of these flyovers has not only brought great relief to the passengers traveling to and from Patna Junction, but the most busy and jam-packed areas like Mithapur and Karbigahiya have got relief from this terrible traffic problem forever. When thousands of vehicles hit the roads simultaneously during morning and evening peak hours, there was no space to step and people were forced to sweat for hours under the flyovers. But now after getting the gift of these new flyovers, the pace of this part of the city has changed and the vehicles are moving towards their destination at a galloping speed.
Mithapur and Karbigahiya got historical freedom from jam.
Mithapur and Karbigahiya area of Patna had long been the biggest traffic bottleneck of the city. Due to being situated on both sides of the railway line and the railway crossing being closed during the movement of trains, there was often a mile-long traffic jam, which left everyone in a bad condition, from patients stuck in ambulances to office-going employees and school children. Local shopkeepers and residents have faced this hellish situation for many years, because even the slightest rain would cause waterlogging and traffic jams in these areas, bringing life to a standstill. But now the hard work of the government and the engineering team has paid off and after the commissioning of these two new flyovers, the entire traffic equation has changed. Now the trains do not need to stop at the railway crossing, and go straight through the flyover. This is no less than a boon for the passengers going towards Karbigahiya and those traveling via Mithapur ROB. This change is not only saving a lot of people’s precious time, but the pollution caused by smoke and horn noise from vehicles has also reduced significantly. Local people say that they had never dreamed that their area would be free from such traffic jams. Now children are able to reach school on time and businessmen are also reaching their work on time without any stress.
Travel from Patna Junction to Mahuli becomes superfast, passengers will reach in just 7 minutes
The biggest feature of this new and grand road infrastructure is that now the journey from a highly busy traffic hub like Patna Junction directly to Mahuli can be completed in just 7 minutes. This modern road connectivity has connected the southern and eastern ends of Patna to the city center in a very short time. People who had to go to catch a train from Patna Junction, often left home two-three hours before due to the fear of missing the train so that they do not get stuck in a big jam on the way. But now the situation has completely reversed, because thanks to these flyovers, vehicles run at their own speed without any hindrance. This has proved to be a huge milestone in the field of engineering, in which these flyovers have been constructed with excellent alignment even in less space and heavily congested areas. Passengers traveling on this route say that now there is neither the headache of repeatedly pressing the clutch and brake during the journey nor do they have to wait for a long time for the signal of a traffic policeman. This pleasant travel experience has brought a big and positive change in the lifestyle of the people of Patna. This faster speed of transportation within the city is also boosting economic activities, as transportation of merchandise and movement of customers has become much easier. This new flyover network, combined with Patna Metro and other road projects, is proving to be a huge step towards transforming the capital Surat into a completely modern and smart city.
The general public is happy with the continuous improvement in the city’s infrastructure.
The speed with which the network of roads, bridges and flyovers has been laid in the last few years in Patna city has created a new confidence in the minds of the citizens regarding development. Where earlier only promises were heard in the name of development, today work is clearly visible on the ground. During the construction of these flyovers in Mithapur-Karbighiya area, many technical and administrative hurdles were encountered, which were resolved by mutual coordination between the government and the concerned departments. From land acquisition to the final stages of construction, quality has been taken care of so that this structure can serve the public for a long time. After receiving this gift, a different enthusiasm is being seen among the citizens of Patna. Everywhere from social media to tea shops, there is talk about how the journey from Junction to Mahuli is now being covered in a few minutes. The government and local administration have also indicated that similar traffic relief schemes will be introduced at other busy intersections and routes in the city in the coming days to make the capital completely jam-free. In this season of Rakshabandhan and other festivals when people are going out for shopping and socializing with their families, the smooth speed of these roads has further doubled their festival enjoyment. This changing picture of Patna is proof that with the right administrative will and strong planning, permanent solutions to even the oldest and most complex problems of the city can be found.
