An extremely important and mega infrastructure project that will completely transform the connectivity between Bihar’s capital Patna and Vaishali district is now all set to be dedicated to the public. The official name of Raghopur-Bidupur 6 lane state-of-the-art bridge built on river Ganga has now been named ‘Nitish Setu’. This name has been announced after the consent of the state government and the Union Transport Ministry, which is going to add a new chapter in the infrastructure of Bihar. The country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi will grandly inaugurate this ambitious bridge during his upcoming visit. With the commencement of this bridge, the distance and travel time between Patna to Raghopur and Bidupur will reduce to just 25 minutes, which will provide huge relief to lakhs of passengers commuting between North Bihar and South Bihar.
This 6 lane ‘Nitish Setu’, built to ease the traffic system in Bihar, is being considered an excellent example of modern engineering and construction technology. Till now, to go from Patna to Raghopur or Bidupur in Vaishali district, people had to either travel long distances or rely on boats or weak bridges to cross the river Ganga, often resulting in severe traffic jams and hours-long delays. With the construction of this new six-lane bridge, the movement of heavy commercial vehicles, trucks and private vehicles will be possible directly and at a faster speed. Strong approach roads and modern lighting have been provided on both sides of the bridge, so that drivers will be able to travel safely without any hassle even at night.
Preparations are going on in full swing at the administrative level for the inauguration ceremony of this mega project. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself will inaugurate this bridge, due to which a lot of enthusiasm is being seen in the political and economic circles of the state. Experts say that this bridge will not only connect the two areas, but it will also facilitate transportation of agricultural products, industrial development and business activities. Farmers of Raghopur and surrounding Diara area will now have the facility to transport their crops directly to Patna and other big markets, which will provide a big boost to the local economy.
As soon as the news of the inauguration of ‘Nitish Setu’ came out, there was a wave of happiness among the local residents of Raghopur, Bidupur and Hajipur areas. For years, the people of Diara area were struggling with mainstream connectivity, but now through this paved road and this huge 6-lane bridge, they will be connected to Patna in the blink of an eye. The administration estimates that after the inauguration, there will be thousands of vehicles plying on this route every day, for which concrete arrangements are also being made regarding deployment of traffic police and security forces. With this gift from the Prime Minister, the shine of Bihar’s infrastructure has once again come into limelight across the country.
