Related facts:
On 24 June 2016 the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved a $500 million loan to
build a bridge across India’s Ganges River.
The 9.8 kilometre (km) road bridge in the north-eastern state of Bihar will be India’s
longest river bridge.
It will provide vital transport links between the northern and southern parts of the state
and with neighbouring Nepal.
The new bridge will make it easier for people to move between jobs and markets,
particularly for poorer communities in the north wishing to travel to the state capital,
Patna, just south of the river.
The new Ganga Bridge, to be located near Patna, will span both channels of the
Ganges River and serve as an alternate route to the existing Ganga Bridge, which has
begun to deteriorate.
The bridge, using state-of-the-art engineering techniques, will be the first of its kind in
India.
Along with ADB’s loan and $900,000 in technical assistance to improve bridge operation
and management, the state government of Bihar will provide support equivalent to $215
million.
