The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the government of India signed a $ 500 million loan on November 15, 2016 to build a 9.8 km long road bridge across the Ganges river to improve transport connectivity between North and South Bihar and for better link between the State capital, Patna, and the surrounding areas.
This will be India's longest river bridge. The new Ganga Bridge, to be located near Patna, will span both channels of the Ganges River and serve as an alternate route to the existing Ganga Bridge. The project will also build viaducts, embankments, and toll and service facilities, and will link to national highway networks.
The bridge will be a boon for the inhabitants of Raghopur Diara river island who will gain year-round road access. Currently, the 250000 inhabitants of the island rely on boats and a seasonal pontoon bridge as their only links
to Patna.
