PM Narendra Modi inaugurates Asia's widest six-lane bridge in Bihar
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated the 1.865 km long six-lane Aunta-Simaria bridge over the Ganga River in Bihar.
At a width of 34 metres, this has become India's widest extradosed bridge designed with a single segmental structure. The project, which was built at a cost of around 1,871 crore, will connect Mokama in Patna with Begusarai.
