Ongoing Development

[edit]

As per Satellite imagery from Google Maps, the national Highway 31 is being made 4 lane currently between Unnao & Raebareli, between Ghazipur & Ballia, between Bakhtiyarpur & Barauni, between Katihar & Labha. 4 lane Bypass is under construction between Labha & Harishchandrapur for bypassing Chandpur(West Bengal). 4 Lane bypass is under construction at Chanchal to bypass Chanchal Town bottleneck. Once these bypasses are built, the Highway length will shorten to 992.25 kilometres (616.56 mi) & reducing travel time. 4 lane stretch is already operational in patches between Raebareli & Ghazipur, between Hajipur & Bakhtiyarpur & between Katihar & Barauni.
