Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar recently inaugurated the Bhupatipur–Punpun section of the Mithapur– Mahuli–Punpun corridor, part of National Highway 22. The new road link, constructed by infrastructure major Afcons Infrastructure, drastically reduces travel time from nearly one hour to just ten minutes, benefiting hundreds of thousands of daily commuters in the region. The completed section comprises a 5-km elevated four-lane corridor, 10 km of at-grade four-lane road, and a 1-km ramp, all designed to support travel speeds of up to 100 km/h, enhancing both speed and safety for motorists. Execution of the project involved complex logistical and engineering challenges.
