Interestingly, the construction of the proposed bridge is to begin from November 2012.
Explaining the reason Nitish said that the state government had to work hard to obtain sanction from the Union Surface Transport ministry as it had raised several objections on the construction of bridge, but in the end he succeeded in convincing the Union Minister C P Joshi to grant clearance to the project.
The new bridge will be built near the existing old bridge. Besides, there already exists another bridge, over river Falgu which came up in 1990s and is a few kilometres from the old one.
