"The first step towards constructing international-standard roads on the lines of the central govt's HAM has been taken with the contract award for the at grade and elevated road along Ganga from Digha to Koilwar. Now, the construction of a four-lane at grade road and a four-lane elevated road along Ganga from Safiyabad to Bariarpur Ghorghat in Munger and from Sultanganj to Sabour via Bhagalpur will also be undertaken under this model," he said at a press conference.

The second section, from Sultanganj to Sabour, will be 40.8-km long, including 26.05km at grade road and 14.76km elevated. One toll plaza will be constructed in this section, while the project will include upgrade of seven ghats, a rest area of approximately 2000sqm and two spurs.

The minister said that the adoption of the HAM was announced during the Bihar Legislative Assembly session. "This method primarily involves a deferred payment system. The HAM-based projects have a construction period of four years, and the contractor is responsible for their maintenance for the next 15 years. During the four-year construction period, the govt will pay only 40% of the total project cost to the contractor, with the remaining 60% invested by the contractor," he said.
