Patna, Aug 28 (SocialNews.XYZ) Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Friday inaugurated the long‑awaited Mithapur‑Karbighiya and Mithapur‑Mahuli flyovers at the Mithapur roundabout in Patna, opening them for public use.
Deputy Chief Minister Vijendra Prasad Yadav, Cabinet Minister Ramkripal Yadav and Phulwarisharif MLA Shyam Rajak were present at the ceremony. Following the inauguration, vehicular movement began on both flyovers.
Officials said the Road Construction Department and Bihar State Bridge Construction Corporation completed the finishing works, including road surfacing, lighting and installation of signage.
The Mithapur‑Karbighiya flyover is expected to ease congestion around Patna Junction and the Karbighiya roundabout. Vehicles from Kankarbagh, Mithapur and the New Bypass will now be able to travel directly towards GPO, R‑Block and the Secretariat.
Similarly, traffic from R‑Block and GPO heading towards the New Bypass and Mahuli elevated road can use the flyover without descending to the surface‑level road.
A wide ground‑level service road has also been built for passengers travelling towards the Karbighiya side of Patna Junction. The facility is expected to reduce congestion outside the railway station and make entry and exit smoother for passengers.
The second phase of the Mithapur‑Mahuli‑Punpun elevated road has also been completed, with a 2.1‑km elevated stretch between Mithapur and Sipara constructed under this phase. The first phase, connecting Sipara with Mahuli‑Punpun, became operational in June 2025.
With the completion of the second phase, the entire approximately 9‑km stretch from Mithapur to Mahuli can now be covered in about 7–8 minutes.
Both newly inaugurated flyovers connect with the Mithapur‑Sipara‑Mahuli elevated road, improving connectivity for commuters travelling towards southern Bihar. The projects are expected to particularly benefit people heading to Gaya, Jehanabad, Aurangabad, Arwal, Biharsharif and Rajgir, providing a more direct route out of Patna and reducing dependence on congested city roads.
Officials said the two projects are aimed at easing traffic pressure in some of Patna’s busiest areas while strengthening connectivity between the New Bypass, Patna Junction and major routes leading towards South Bihar.
