In a major development set to resolve persistent urban traffic bottlenecks in Bihar, the state administration has expedited the clearance process for the Gaurkshini-Thakurbari-Dardha bridge in Jehanabad. Reviewing public grievance matters during a high-level state cooperation programme on Tuesday, Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary directed the Road Construction Department and Bihar State Bridge Construction Corporation to accord formal technical approval to the project's blueprints and cost estimates by November 2026. The executive push paves the way for the immediate tender and ground execution of the crucial river crossing, ending years of daily commuting hardship for thousands of city dwellers.
