Bihar’s Highway Revolution: Rs 33,464 Cr Boost for 875 km Road Projects

New ₹33,464 Cr infrastructure push set to transform freight & truck movement

June 23, 2025: The central government has approved a massive ₹33,464 crore package for highway projects spanning 875 km, marking a monumental boost to Bihar’s road infrastructure. With a focus on supporting freight operations, the expansion is expected to revolutionize truck movement across the state—reducing transit time, easing bottlenecks, and cutting logistics costs.

Truck Operators Advantage

Truck drivers and logistics companies are already anticipating the benefits “The current narrow state roads around Ghazipur–Buxar are a nightmare. Trucks block them, and jams stretch for kilometers,” one user on Reddit lamented earlier this year.

The new highway network aims to move those trucks off congested mixes, enabling smoother freight movement and reducing idle time.

Official Statements

Union Road Minister Nitin Gadkari emphasized “We will make Bihar’s highways on par with those in America”—a promise backed by budget announcements totalling ₹26,000 Cr and subsequent project approvals.

Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha reaffirmed this vision, highlighting the NH‑119A corridor (Patna–Arrah–Sasaram) as transformational for freight corridors across southern Bihar.

Future Planning To boost Infrastructure 

Several of these flagship projects have already broken ground:

• NH‑119A, a 120 km four-lane corridor, with foundation stone laid late May 2025.
• Work underway on Patna–Bihta elevated road, expected to significantly ease truck flow into the capital.
• Preparations for the Danapur–Mokama six-lane bridge near completion, ready to open within weeks.

Construction is planned to roll out in phases, with many stretches expected to be operational by 2028, dramatically improving haulage efficiency for trucking businesses.

This ₹33,464 cr initiative signals a new era for Bihar’s logistics infrastructure. A transformative impact—for the trucking community and beyond—is firmly on the horizon.
