The project is being developed on Mumbai's Marine Drive lines and is almost ready for the public.
About Marine Drive Patna
- Jointly developed by the Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) and the Government of Bihar, this Marine Drive Patna is an ambitious project that spans a length of 20.5 km.
- The Ganga Path project comprises a 6.5 km-long stretch at-grade level and a 14 km-long elevated section, connecting Digha to Kacchi Dargah along the River Ganges. An expressway with four lanes is being constructed as a part of the Ganga Path development project, running parallel to the River Ganges.
- The completion of the project has been a top priority for the government for several years, and they have been making concerted efforts to ensure its realisation.
- The project's first phase connects areas in Digha to AN Sinha Institute and is already open to the public.
- The second phase is expected to be completed by the end of 2024, including an 18 km extension to Fatuha, a vital industrial area 24 km east of Patna.
- The expressway will have nine access points connected to Ashok Rajpath and will be a tolled road. Several four-lane approach roads are connected to Loknayak Ganga Path to enhance connectivity within the State.
- Atal Path and Ashok Rajpath are planned to connect to the Marine Drive via these approach lanes, further improving connectivity between different parts of the city.
