Union Minister Nitin Gadkari will today virtually inaugurate a six-lane bridge linking Patna and Ara over the Sone river in Bihar’s Koelwar.
Construction of the 1.52-km bridge, costing Rs 266 crore, began in July 2017, and the project will allow better connectivity between Patna and Ara to reach Sasaram, Bhabhua and Uttar Pradesh towns with the old iron railway-cum-road bridge at Koelwar withering fast. Work has been completed on three lanes and the remaining portion is likely to be opened to traffic by June next year, officials said.
