Good News for Patnatites! The new double-decker flyover on Ashok Rajpath is all set to open by the first week of May 2025. Most of the construction work is already finished, and only some final touches are being completed.

 

What Makes This Flyover Special?

 

Two Levels for Smooth Traffic

 

  • The first level is 1.5 km long and connects Patna College to BN College. It’s meant for people coming from the eastern parts of the city toward Gandhi Maidan.

  • The second level is 2.2 km long and runs from Gandhi Maidan to Science College. It will handle traffic going in the opposite direction, toward the east. At first, this level will be open only up to Krishna Ghat.

 

Better City Connections

The flyover will make it easier to reach key places like the upcoming multi-level parking near PMCH and the JP Ganga Path through a new ramp at Krishna Ghat.

 

Project Details

Work on the flyover got started in December 2021. It has been built by Bihar Raj Pul Nirman Nigam Limited at a cost of ₹422 crore. Despite challenges caused by the metro construction nearby, the flyover is nearly ready.

 

An official said that once the finishing work is done, ramps from both the Gandhi

Maidan and Patna University sides will be opened. This will help reduce traffic jams on the busy Ashok Rajpath road.

 

This flyover is expected to improve daily travel for thousands of people, making Patna’s roads safer and faster.
