For the construction of the Sahebganj-Areraj-Bettiah section of National Highway (NH) 139W, the Bihar Government has received approval from the Central Public Private Partnership Appraisal Committee (PPPAC). The total estimated cost for this project is 4,000 INR-Crore, and the tenders are expected to be floated soon.

The land acquisition for the 89 Km highway is largely complete, and the compensation for the same is under disbursals. The construction of NH 139W is expected to be completed within 24 months. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) will oversee the construction of the project under the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM).

The proposed National Highway (NH) 139W will involve extensive civil works, including a major bridge over the Tirhut canal, 11 bridges on rivers and drains, and 11 on canals. The project also features five flyovers and two cloverleaf interchanges. Additionally, it will have six vehicular underpasses (VUPs) and 10 light vehicular underpasses (LVUPs). There will be 34 small underpasses (SUVUPs) and 209 box culverts. The authorities will build a bypass around Bettiah to further ease traffic congestion.

Package 1: Construction of a new six-lane bridge parallel to the existing J.P. Setu over the Ganga River.

Package 2: Development of a four-lane greenfield road from Bakarpur to Manikpur and a high-rise bridge at Konwa Ghat over the Gandak River.
