SYSTRA has been selected as Design Consultant for the construction of the Digha-Sherpur-Koilwar section of the Ganga Path, a 4-lane expressway along the Ganga River in Patna, in the Indian state of Bihar.
Major road development project in India

SYSTRA’s Indian teams will work for Vishwa Samudra Engineering Pvt Ltd (VSEPL) on behalf of Bihar State Road Development Corporation Limited (BSRDCL).

Enhancing connectivity and easing traffic congestion

The Digha–Sherpur–Koilwar section is one of Bihar’s most significant transport infrastructure projects. Designed to improve connectivity and reduce congestion, the section of more than 35km includes approximately 17km of elevated roadway and five interchanges.

We’re delighted to be part of a project that will make a real difference to daily travel in and around Patna. By helping improve connections and reduce congestion, this new section of the Ganga Path will benefit communities, businesses and the wider region for years to come.

Located along the Ganga River, the project presents significant engineering challenges, requiring careful design of elevated sections and other highway features within a constrained riverfront environment.

Once completed, it will serve as a strategic corridor for both regional and inter-state mobility, improving links between Patna and other major hubs along the Ganga River.

By improving traffic flow in Patna and facilitating smoother movement of both people and goods, the Digha–Sherpur–Koilwar stretch is expected to make a significant contribution to the state’s transport network and long-term development.
