India, ADB sign $295 million loan to upgrade state highways in Bihar

• The Indian government and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) have joined hands once again to enhance infrastructure in Bihar. Through a $295-million loan, the project aims to upgrade approximately 265 km of state highways in Bihar, incorporating climate and disaster-resilient designs and road safety measures.
• The initiative aligns with the Bihar government’s vision to improve all state highways to standard two-lane widths and prioritize road safety. Additionally, the upgraded roads are expected to boost connectivity in impoverished rural regions, improving access to essential services like health, education, and markets, ultimately enhancing the well-being of the people.
• The project, aptly named “Enhancing Connectivity and Sustainability in Bihar Roads Project,” represents a significant milestone in bolstering the state’s infrastructure.
