NHAI to Build 3.2 Km Bridge Over Ganga Connecting Buxar and Bharauli

20 May 2025 CW Team

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has taken a significant step to enhance regional infrastructure by initiating preparations to construct a new bridge over the Ganga River. This bridge aims to strengthen the road connection between Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

The project, to be developed under NHAI’s supervision, is estimated to cost around Rs 368 crore. It will link Buxar in Bihar with Bharauli in Uttar Pradesh, facilitating smoother travel for thousands of daily commuters. Of the total 3.2 km length, 1.2 km will be built to the west of the existing Veer Kunwar Singh Bridge, while a 2 km elevated rotary section is planned on the Bharauli side to help ease traffic flow.

According to the current design, the bridge will be supported by 40 pillars, with eight located in the middle of the Ganga and the remaining 32 on either side. The first pillar (P-1) will be positioned in Buxar, and the last pillar (P-40) on the Bharauli side. Soil testing is currently underway, with ASC Infratech conducting bore tests reaching depths of up to 170 feet. The soil samples are being sent to New Delhi for detailed analysis, and construction will commence once the Central Government approves the geotechnical report.

The project was originally announced in the 2024 Union Budget but faced multiple delays due to technical difficulties. These challenges led to the cancellation of the Detailed Project Report (DPR) and tenders twice. However, the project gained renewed momentum after a work order was issued on January 9, 2025. Construction is now expected to begin soon.

Once completed, the bridge is anticipated to reduce travel time for local residents, generate employment opportunities, and enhance trade between Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. It is expected to substantially improve regional connectivity and contribute to the overall economic growth of the area.
