Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced a series of significant development projects for Patna on February 21, focusing on infrastructure, road expansion, tourism, and civic amenities. A total of 623 projects were inaugurated or launched, with an estimated investment of Rs 14.04 billion.

Among the major initiatives, the JP Ganga Path will be extended westward to Veer Kunwar Singh Setu at Koilwar and eastward to Rajendra Setu in Mokama. The widening of Nehru Path (Bailey Road) from Rupaspur Canal to Saguna Mor has also been approved, incorporating an underground drainage system.

Several key road expansion projects have been initiated. Danapur-Bihta Road will be widened, while Nehru Path will extend to Gola Road. The Serpentine Drain road from Patel Golambar to Atal Path will be transformed into a four-lane road with an underground drainage system. Additionally, Mandiri Nala will be upgraded to a four-lane road connecting to J.P. Ganga Path, and Rupaspur Canal Path will be expanded from Khagaul Nehru Path to Ashok Rajpath. The old Ganga Path will also undergo widening, covering areas such as Gaighat, Kangan Ghat, and Didarganj.

Infrastructure improvements will continue with the expansion of Danapur Cantt-Maner-Bihta Road from two lanes to four. Plans include paving Rajiv Nagar Drain and Anandpuri Drain with roads built over them. Development of an integrated park and new public amenities between Digha and Sabhyata Dwar has been initiated. Additionally, Mangal Talab in Patna City will be renovated, enhancing facilities for Sikh pilgrims visiting Takht Harimandir Sahib. To improve accessibility, a multilevel parking facility will be constructed near Patna Sahib Gurudwara at Kangan Ghat.
