Muzaffarpur to Get Relief from Traffic Jams: New Approach Road for Dighra-Butler Flyover Approved at ₹97 Lakh

Muzaffarpur, Bihar:
The Public Works Department (PWD) of Bihar has finalized the tender for the construction of a new approach road to the high-level Dighra-Butler flyover in Muzaffarpur, with an estimated cost of ₹97 lakh. The contract has been awarded to Ranjana Rakesh, the lowest bidder among two contenders. Work on the road is expected to be completed within three months, with land acquisition to be undertaken on both sides of the approach.

Traffic Relief Expected

Once operational, the new approach road will significantly reduce traffic congestion along the Dighra-Butler route. This corridor is crucial for commuters traveling from Samastipur to Muzaffarpur and is frequently used by heavy vehicles accessing the Bela Industrial Area. The existing flyover, although completed nearly two years ago, remained underutilized due to lack of proper access roads. Additionally, the Narayanpur level crossing often causes traffic delays of up to two hours, which the new approach road aims to resolve.

Benefits to Commuters

With the construction of this approach road, vehicles coming from Samastipur will no longer need to navigate rough or indirect routes. Traffic pressure on the Ramdayalu-Aghoria Market Road and other city arteries is expected to decrease, easing congestion at busy intersections such as Kalyani Chowk, Madipur Overbridge, Tower Chowk, and Sikanderpur. Authorities hope that the new road will provide smoother, safer, and faster movement for daily commuters and improve overall traffic flow in the city.

The initiative is part of broader efforts to enhance infrastructure and connectivity in Muzaffarpur, addressing the growing traffic challenges faced by residents and industrial transporters alike.
