==History==
In October 2019, Central Government decided that it will bear construction cost of the elevated road, while the [[Government of Bihar]] will bear the land-acquisition cost for the projects.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/patna-news/patna-fast-tracks-land-acquisition-for-danapur-bihta-elevated-road-compensation-to-be-disbursed-in-village-wise-camps-101682527351621.html|title=Efforts intensify to acquire land for Danapur-Bihta elevated road, other projects}}</ref> The road project was sanctioned by the [[Ministry of Road Transport and Highways]] (MoRTH) as part of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's package to Bihar, ahead of [[2015 Bihar Legislative Assembly election]]. It will be constructed at the cost of Rs 3,737.51 crore.

==Route==
The elevated road will start near Danapur Divisional Rail Manager (DRM) office and culminate at [[Koilwar]]. The road will have four bypasses between Shivala and Bihta-Neoraganj, Painaal, Kahnaili and Bisunpura. As part of this project, 4-km-long four-lane road will be constructed from Bihta to [[Koilwar]] as part of the project.

Of its total 20 km length, {{convert|17|km|abbr=on}} would be elevated. The elevated portion will terminate at the junction of the Bihta-Sarmera Road near Kanhauli village. From that junction, the road will go up to the Bihta chowk besides connecting the [[Bihta Airport]]; it would again be elevated at the Bihta chowk.

==Land Acquisition==
For the construction of this road, 64.1509 acres of land will be acquired by the district administration. In this, 20 acres of land belongs to [[Government of Bihar]] and railways. The process of taking NOC from the Railways is going on near Danapur station. 45 acres of land will be acquired by [[Government of Bihar]] in Neora, UsariKhurd, Khedalpura, Painathi, Kothian and Parsa Mauza of Neora and Bihta.
