Mithapur–Sipara Flyover Nears Completion, Travel Time To Drop

Work on road infrastructure in Patna is advancing, with the Mithapur–Sipara elevated corridor emerging as a key initiative to ease congestion and improve urban mobility. The stretch between Mithapur and Sipara is scheduled for completion by the end of September and most remaining work is concentrated near the Sipara bridge on the New Bypass. Completion is expected to speed travel towards Punpun.

Officials said that four girders have been installed over the Sipara bridge while two more are yet to be hoisted and that casting and the installation of expansion joints are expected to be completed by July. Finishing work will follow and activities such as slope pitching and installation of lighting fixtures are progressing rapidly on the Mithapur side. A second elevated roadway is being added above the existing road near the New Bypass.

The corridor forms part of the larger Mithapur–Mahuli elevated road project and the Sipara–Mahuli stretch is already operational via a ramp near Bhupatipur. The current phase involves a two point one kilometre stretch between Mithapur and Sipara and earlier work faced delays due to design changes required by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which led to an extension of the structure by 65 metres. Officials noted that finishing work remains pending north of the New Bypass.

The elevated corridor passes over National Highway 30 (NH 30) and is expected to significantly reduce travel time, with the approximately nine kilometre stretch from Mithapur to Mahuli potentially being covered in seven to eight minutes. With a four?lane road extending beyond Mahuli towards Punpun, authorities said that the project is likely to ease chronic congestion in the Sipara area and improve connectivity across eastern Patna. The authorities added that the full project remains on track for completion by the end of September.
