Kosi River Bridge and Greenfield Road to Boost Bihar’s Agricultural Exports

The proposed greenfield highway, which incorporates a robust Kosi River bridge, is expected to integrate the agricultural economies of Mithila and Seemanchal with global markets. By linking the Darbhanga Airport directly to the Amass‑Darbhanga north‑south corridor through a planned flyover, the route will enable faster shipment of Makhan (foxnut) from Mithila and fish and corn produce from the Kosi belt.

Farmers and fishery operators will benefit from reduced transit bottlenecks that previously hampered movement across the river, facilitating smoother access to export channels. The infrastructure upgrade is also projected to spur regional economic integration, fostering a unified market for crops that share cultural and geographic ties on both sides of the Kosi.

Overall, the highway promises to lower logistics costs, attract investment in agro‑processing units, and provide a direct conduit for local products to reach international buyers via the airport’s cargo facilities.
