PROJECT BACKGROUND The Bihar State Road Development Corporation BSRDC, Government of Bihar is presently implementing Bihar State Highway-II project under Asian Development Bank assistance to strengthen and rehabilitate the deteriorated state roads and upgrade some newly declared state roads to provide reliable road transport services in the state. The subproject road section (SH-78) falling under Bihar State Highways II Project has been distinctively divided into 2 segments separated by NH 30A. The first segment i.e. Bihta– Daniyawan stretch falls in Patna District and the other stretch i.e. Chandi - Sarmera is under Nalanda District. The length of first segment (Bihta-Daniyawan of SH-78) is 46.7 km. This Road begins at Kanhauli with Junction of Bihta-Shivala Road(MDR), which is 4.5 km far away from NH-30 at Bihta and connecting to NH-30A(Ch 7+220) at Daniyawan. The other stretch starts from NH30A at Chandi about 20km away from the end point of the first stretch and terminates at Sarmera; the junction with NH-82 traversing a distance of 47.5 km. Thus, the total length of the subproject section is 94.200 km. The civil contractor for this project is terminated by the client on dated 24.04.2014 and re- tender notice for civil contractor is issued by the client. 2.
