The bridge was conceptualized around 2012 and the construction started in 2014. The 3.16-km bridge being constructed for Rs 1,700 crore collapsed twice in the last 14 months - first on the Bhagalpur's Sultanganj side in April 2022 and the second time on Sunday evening on the Khagaria side. After repeated postponement, it was to be completed by the end of 2023. The bridge is being constructed by SP Singla Construction Ltd for Bihar Rajya Pul Nirman Nigam Ltd (BRPNNL) and had caved in April last year as well.
