Ranipur Khidki, Patna

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has approved the Patna Elevated Road Project, a 13.41 km six-lane elevated and at-grade corridor from Saristabad to Didarganj. This project aims to significantly ease traffic congestion within Patna and improve connectivity.

The elevated stretch of the Patna Metro from Bhoothnath to Malahi Pakri, a key part of Corridor II, has successfully passed a safety inspection by the Chief Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety. This 2.75 km section, including Khemnichak station, is set to open soon, completing the priority elevated corridor and boosting urban mobility.
