Muzaffarpur’s New Ring Road Project to Ease Traffic and Improve Connectivity

17 KM Long Ring Road Plan in Bihar

A 17-kilometer-long ring road is being planned in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. This road will connect Madhaul on NH-22 to Bakhri on NH-27. In between, it will pass through Dighra and Mushahari. The aim of this road is to connect the Muzaffarpur-Hajipur National Highway directly to the Darbhanga Highway.

In addition, this new road will help reduce heavy traffic jams in the city. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has already started a traffic survey to understand the vehicle flow and road conditions. Based on this study, they will create the final construction plan and begin the tender process.

Two Phases of Construction

The ring road will be built in two phases.

Phase 1: From Madhaul to Dighra (4.45 KM), which connects to NH-28.

Phase 2: From Dighra to Bakhri (12.55 KM), passing through Mushahari, Chaturi Punas, and nearby villages.

This road will go through many local areas like Madhaul, Madhopur, Raghunathpur, Jagdishpur, Rohua, Hasanchak Bangra, and others.

How This Road Will Help

Once this road is completed, vehicles coming from Darbhanga, Sitamarhi, Shivhar, Motihari, and Samastipur will not need to enter the city. Instead, they can use this ring road to go directly towards Hajipur and Patna. As a result, traffic inside Muzaffarpur city will reduce a lot.

In addition, this project is expected to improve transport safety and save time and fuel. The traffic survey is also collecting data on vehicle movement between Muzaffarpur-Patna and Muzaffarpur-Samastipur routes.

Cost and Land Acquisition

The estimated cost of this project is ₹1,700 crore. For this, land acquisition has already started on a large scale. The District Land Acquisition Office is handling this process.

Government Approval and Progress

In January 2025, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar inspected the ring road during his Pragati Yatra. Later, the Cabinet gave official approval for this project.

Perhaps very soon, the Chief Minister will also inaugurate other nearby road projects like the six-lane road from Chandni Chowk to Bakhri and the bridges at Chandwara and Aather.

Better Future for Muzaffarpur and Nearby Areas

This new ring road will also connect Muzaffarpur-Barauni NH-122 and the East-West Corridor of Darbhanga-Muzaffarpur. It will be a big step toward better regional connectivity.

Locals believe this project will play a key role in the city’s development. It will make daily travel easier and smoother for people and reduce traffic problems in Muzaffarpur for good.
