Bihar CM Opens Mithapur Flyovers, Elevated Road in Patna
Patna opened new roads and flyovers near Mithapur.
Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary inaugurated them on Friday.
One project helps connect Mithapur and Karbighiya.
Another is a raised road between Mithapur and Sipara.
These roads are meant to help cars avoid busy roads below.
They should also make it easier for people to reach Patna railway station and Mithapur bus stand.
The elevated road connects to the route toward Mahuli and Punpun.
Officials say the full route from Mithapur to Mahuli can now take about 7–8 minutes.
