Vikramshila Setu, Road bridge in Bhagalpur, India
The Vikramshila Setu spans 4,700 meters across the Ganges River, connecting National Highway 80 with National Highway 31 in Bihar state.
Opened in 2001, this bridge was constructed to establish a permanent crossing point over the Ganges River in the Bhagalpur district.
The bridge connects to areas near the ancient Vikramshila Buddhist University, a significant center of Buddhist learning from the 8th to 12th centuries.
The structure features two traffic lanes in each direction and dedicated pedestrian pathways, serving thousands of daily commuters between Bhagalpur and Naugachia.
A new parallel four-lane bridge is under construction 50 meters downstream, with L&T Ltd Chennai managing the 838-crore rupee project.
