Arrah–Chhapra Bridge is a bridge under construction across the Ganges river connecting Arrah and Chhapra in Bhojpur and Saran districts in the Indian state of Bihar. Upon completion in June 2016, the bridge will provide a roadway link between the northern and southern parts of Bihar. [1]
Bridges across the Ganges in Bihar
The Ganges divides the state of Bihar in two parts. The river makes communication between the two parts difficult.
The first effort to bridge the gap was Rajendra Setu in 1959. The next bridge across the Ganges in Bihar was the 5,575 metres (18,291 ft) Mahatma Gandhi Setu, the longest bridge in India at the time of its commissioning in 1982.[2] It was followed by Vikramshila Setu near Bhagalpur.[3] The fourth bridge across the Ganges in the state is the Ganga Rail–Road Bridge.
Munger Ganga Bridge is also under construction.[4] A 5.575 km long bridge Bakhtiyarpur-Tajpur Bridge is under construction which will connect Bakhtiyarpur and Tajpur.[5]
Arrah–Chhapra Bridge across the Ganges is also under construction which will connect Arrah and Chhapra.[6] A road bridge parallel to the existing rail and road bridge, Rajendra Setu, has also been planned.[7]
