The 25-km four-lane elevated corridor will connect Patna directly with the upcoming Bihta airport.
The Chief Minister reviewed progress on the Danapur–Bihta Elevated Corridor and the new civil enclave at Bihta Airport, and directed officials to speed up the link road between the two.
The corridor forms part of the Patna–Buxar four-lane project. Once complete it is expected to be the longest elevated road in East India, easing congestion and reducing the load on Patna's Jayaprakash Narayan International Airport.
