The much-anticipated Bhagalpur-Goradih Rail Over Bridge (ROB) project in Bhagalpur South is leaving the planning stage and will soon be built. With all hurdles over land bought and preparations going on, the Bhagalpur-GoraDih Road project is moving forward and is scheduled to start construction within the next two months. What will be the latest changes, the future, and the effects on Bhagalpur’s residents?
Construction on Bhagalpur-Goradih Rail Over Bridge to Kick Off by June-End
The ROB project is almost finished, and soon, a bottlenecked rail crossing will become a smooth passage above the tracks. The construction contract has been given to Hardev Construction Pvt. Ltd., which is known for its work in Deoghar. The agency has begun putting together its construction camp close to the site.
What’s pending? All that you need is the official Letter of Acceptance (LOA). Issuing the agreement and work order launches full construction right away. The project budget is a specific ₹66,96,20,824, which is important to ensure the city’s busy traffic route operates smoothly.
Easier Access for Southern Bhagalpur: No More Flooded Underpasses
It is well understood by people using the Bhagalpur-Goradih Road that the underpass near the Bounsi rail bridge often gets blocked. There have been regular issues, becoming worse during monsoons, that upset daily commutes for people. The purpose of the new Bhagalpur-Gsoradih Rail Over Bridge is to:
- Renovate the old underpass by making it into an elevated stretch that is easy to keep dry.
- Build access roads leading to the tunnel from each side to make traffic flow easier.
- Greatly reduce the time needed for travel and the number of cars on the roads in South Bhagalpur.
Social Impact Assessment to Speed Up Land Acquisition
To make sure the process is just and causes limited problems, the government approved a Social Impact Assessment (SIA). Here is how the rollout will happen:
- Lalit Narayan Mishra Institute has the SIA.
- Both the Road Construction Corporation and the Land Acquisition Department are financing the assessment.
- Within the week, a request letter from the land department seeking ₹2–3 lakh will be delivered.
Once the funds are out, the exact days and locations for field surveys will be clear. It is likely that the entire SIA process will happen within one month.
What happens after the SIA? Split and measure the land. Operating this from the signaling control room allows workers to begin physically building the rail over the bridge in Bhagalpur-GoraDih. By performing the measurement work, the team will find:
- Find out the specific areas needed for the right-of-way and access roads and begin planning for them.
- Give affected landowners financial compensation for their plots of land.
- Sort out any unresolved issues and problems before launching the conference.
Since this roadmap is ready, we can see the project is advancing cost-effectively, and will begin on-site soon.
Why the Bhagalpur-Goradih Road Project Matters?
The region of Bhagalpur was in need of better traffic infrastructure. On a city level, this is what it implies:
- Commuters benefit: getting through rail gates faster means more time for themselves.
- Underpasses will no longer hold water, and two-wheelers are less likely to slip.
- Development in urban areas increases the worth of real estate and speeds up getting to new areas.
With the city’s infrastructure usually playing catch-up, the Bhagalpur-Goradih Rail Over Bridge is an important step forward.
With staff on hand, land purchases happening, and all the important paperwork ready, the Bhagalpur-Goradih Road is soon to receive massive changes. Therefore, people of Bhagalpur should mark June on their calendars. Because the construction is close to an end and smooth travel is almost ready for us.
