Patna, the distance from Patna, the capital of Bihar, to Mokama can now be covered by road in just 1 hour. Traffic on the Greenfield fourlane highway from Bakhtiyarpur to Mokama was started on Friday. With this, the journey between Bakhtiyarpur to Mokama can be completed in just half an hour, earlier it used to take two hours. However, a part of the railway overbridge near Bakhtiyarpur is not built, due to which only two-lane traffic is on on about one kilometer of road.

A 44.6 km long Greenfield fourlane corridor has been built between Bakhtiyarpur and Mokama. This has made the journey from Patna to Mokama easier. Along with this, people will get the benefit of this in going to other districts including Lakhisarai, Begusarai, Munger, Bhagalpur, Jamui, Sheikhpura, Purnia, Khagaria as well as Guwahati in Assam and neighboring country Bhutan.

Diversion has been made to go from Mokama to Patna

An official of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) said that people going to Mokama from Patna via Bakhtiyarpur are traveling directly. But a diversion has been made near the ROB for those going to Patna from Mokama via Bakhtiyarpur. After the completion of the ROB work, this road will be directly connected.

At present, vehicles have been diverted by cutting the medium from where the connecting path of Bakhtiyarpur ROB starts. Vehicles are being diverted again from Mokama to Bakhtiyarpur by cutting the medium near the school one kilometer ahead. It is being told that after the construction work of ROB is completed in May, traffic will also be started on the second lane at one kilometer.

It will be easy to reach Mokama from Patna via Bakhtiyarpur

Till now people used to go to Bakhtiyarpur from Patna via Greenfield Fourlane. After this, people were reaching Mokama from Bakhtiyarpur through a single lane road via Barh. Due to dense population on both sides of this road and less width of the road, it was taking two hours to reach Bakhtiyarpur and Mokama. Now, as soon as the Greenfield four-lane between Bakhtiyarpur and Mokama becomes operational, this distance can be covered in just half an hour. At the same time, the distance between Patna and Mokama will also be reduced from two and a half to three hours to one hour.
