The Loknayak Ganga Path, also known as Patna Marine Drive, was built after Mumbai’s Marine Drive and is almost complete. The first phase of the project, which is already operating and provides increased vehicular circulation and a realty boost along the Path, was designed to connect Digha to Deedarganj. Read here for more information about this 21 kilometre stretch. For Patna people, the State government’s disregard for the construction of roads has been a major source of worry. Although the government promises easy access to Patna in five hours from any location in Bihar, the reality is quite different. Residents of Patna have been suffering from terrible traffic jams inside the city. The completion of Patna Marine Drive, however, is anticipated to put an end to the residents’ commuting issues.

In a major infrastructure and connectivity boost for Bihar's capital city of Patna, a 5.5-kilometres-long stretch of the ambitious Ganga Pathway is set to open by March next year, Hindustan Times. Considered Patna's equivalent of Mumbai's iconic Marine Drive, Ganga Pathway's stretch between Digha and AN Sinha Institute will likely be opened for vehicular traffic by coming March. It is a part of the Rs 3,390 crore worth project coming up on the southern bank of the Ganga river to minimise traffic load on the congested Ashok Rajpath. The ambitious project had been envisioned by Chief Minister (CM) Nitish Kumar during his second tenure at the helm of affairs of the State as its CM. The foundation stone of the 20.5-kilometres-long four-lane expressway project was laid in 2013. Once completed, it would connect National Highway-30 and AIIMS-Digha elevated corridor in the west with the upcoming six-lane Kacchi Dargah-Bidupur bridge over River Ganga in Patna City in the east. It should be noted that the project, originally scheduled to be completed by 2017, will only be completed in a wholesome manner by 2023. The project has seen inordinate delays on account of reasons like procedural wrangle in land acquisition and design modifications.

Ganga Pathway, Patna’s own version of Mumbai’s famous Marine Drive, is set to open for vehicular traffic by March 2022, Hindustan Times reported citing officials. The 5.50km long Digha-AN Sinha institute stretch is part of the Rs 3,390 crore ambitious project on the southern banks of the Ganga river in a bid to minimise the traffic. The foundation stone of the 20.50km four-lane expressway connecting National Highway-30 and AIIMS-Digha elevated corridor in the west with the upcoming six-lane Kacchi Dargah-Bidupur bridge over River Ganga in Patna City in the east was laid in 2013 under the second term of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. However, the project that was set to complete in 2017 was marred with procedural delays in land acquisition and design modifications is now aimed to compete by June 2023, the report said. “Most of the construction on this stretch is being done at grade level, while a short span of it is on an elevated structure,” road construction department (RCD) additional chief secretary Amrit Lal Meena told the publication. He added that the fund shortage was resolved as the cabinet approved a Rs 2,000 crore loan from Housing and Urban Development Corporation (Hudco). Meena added that the remaining amount was arranged through state government’s resources after the cabinet meeting cleared the department’s proposal at a meeting chaired by chief minister Nitish Kumar. The Cabinet also approved around Rs 30,000 crore for urban and rural local bodies to carry out ...
