Patna Mithapur–Sipara Flyover Nears Completion

Work on multiple road infrastructure projects in Patna is advancing, with the Mithapur–Sipara elevated corridor emerging as a key initiative aimed at easing congestion and improving urban mobility. The elevated stretch between Mithapur and Sipara is scheduled for completion by September and most remaining work is concentrated near the Sipara bridge along the New Bypass. Officials indicated the project will provide faster connectivity towards Punpun and form a critical link within the city road network.

Construction is in its final phase near the Sipara bridge. Four girders have already been installed over the bridge while two more are yet to be hoisted, and ancillary tasks such as casting and installation of expansion joints are expected to be completed by July. The current phase covers a two point one kilometre stretch between Mithapur and Sipara, and earlier delays were attributed to design changes requested by the National Highways Authority of India that required an extension of the structure by 65 metres.

Work is progressing simultaneously on both ends of the corridor. On the Sipara side, finishing work remains pending north of the New Bypass, while on the Mithapur side activities such as slope pitching and installation of lighting fixtures are advancing rapidly. A second elevated roadway is being constructed above the existing road near the New Bypass, adding to the project’s scale and complexity. 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.

Once operational the elevated corridor that passes over National Highway 30 is expected to dramatically reduce travel time across eastern Patna. Once completed the approximately nine kilometre stretch from Mithapur to Mahuli could be covered in just seven to eight minutes, and the four-lane road extending beyond Mahuli towards Punpun is likely to ease chronic congestion particularly in the Sipara area. Authorities reported the full project is on track for completion by the end of September, which would mark a significant milestone in the city’s efforts to modernise its road infrastructure.
