Mithapur-Mahuli Elevated Corridor Set For Likely Opening This Month

Patna is set to gain a major road link as the Mithapur-Mahuli elevated corridor is expected to be inaugurated by the end of the month. The four-lane corridor has been developed to improve connectivity to the southern and eastern parts of the city and includes completed sections between Mithapur and Sipara. The project is being advanced by the Bihar State Road Development Corporation Limited (BSRDCL) as the nodal agency.

Phase I comprises an eight point eight six-kilometre elevated stretch from the Mithapur education hub area to Ramgovind Singh Mahuli Halt. That section was inaugurated earlier at a cost of Rs 10.31 billion (bn). Phase II covers the Mithapur-Sipara-Mahuli-Punpun alignment along the eastern side of the railway line and includes a two point one-kilometre elevated road between Mithapur and Sipara with a two-way rail overbridge at Sipara.

Another elevated stretch of two point two kilometres has been built between Mahuli Halt and Punpun Laxman Jhula. The entire Mithapur-Sipara-Mahuli-Punpun corridor spans 11.67 km and has been constructed at a cost of Rs 14.68 billion (bn). Near Sipara the elevated road crosses over the national highway and most of the finishing work has been completed.

Officials said the corridor will markedly reduce travel times, with the Sipara to Mahuli run taking around fifteen minutes and Patna Junction to Punpun expected to take about ten to fifteen minutes. The Patna to Gaya journey could be reduced to around one point five hours from the current two hours. The route is expected to improve links to Jehanabad, Gaya and Aurangabad and to ease congestion on existing roads. The design incorporates a speed limit of 60 kmph for cars and two-wheelers and uses Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) to allow spans of up to 64 metres.
