Buxar District Magistrate Sahila inspected the construction of the Road Over Bridge (ROB) between Chausa and Ghamar railway stations on Monday, April 27, 2026. The DM found the current condition of the approach road unsatisfactory, which is causing difficulties for vehicles using the bridge. She has issued strict instructions to complete the remaining work before the monsoon season begins.
What are the deadlines and instructions for the ROB work?
The District Magistrate has directed the Bihar State Bridge Construction Corporation Limited to finish the approach road by April 30, 2026. She ordered immediate leveling of the path and the construction of a service road to ensure smooth traffic flow. Officials from the Buxar administration and executive engineers of the bridge corporation were present during the inspection.
What is the project cost and its importance for the region?
The project started in 2015 with a total cost of 117 crore rupees, though it faced delays due to land acquisition and technical issues. The Chausa ROB specifically cost about 42 crore rupees, with 19 crore spent on the bridge over the tracks and 23 crore for the approach paths. Once fully operational in May 2026, it will improve connectivity between Buxar, Ara, Patna, Sasaram, and the GT Road, benefiting dozens of villages.
