Nearly 80 years after an earthquake snapped a critical link between Mithilanchal and Seemanchal regions of Bihar, these two areas, separated by the Kosi river, will be reconnected with the inauguration of a 1.8km bridge on Wednesday. People had depended either on boats or circuitous road route till now. 

Union road transport minister C P Joshi will on Wednesday inaugurate the four-lane Kosi Mahasetu, connecting Bhaptiahi and Saraigarh in Supaul district. Built at an outlay of over Rs 400 crore by the Gammon India, the road bridge, with a 8.75km approach road, will help promote commerce as it will cut distances between Supaul, Saharsa, Purnia and Madhepura districts on the one hand and Darbhanga and Madhubani districts on the other. 

The stone of the mega-bridge was laid by the then PM, Atal Bijhari Vajpayee, in June 2003.
