JP Ganga Path (also called Loknayak Ganga Path or Patna Marine Drive) is a 4 lane expressway along the Ganga river in Patna, Bihar, India.[1][2] It is being jointly constructed by the Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) and the Government of Bihar.[3][4] Jp Ganga Path (Patna Marine Drive) was planned to ensure a smooth flow of traffic between east Patna and west Patna, and ease the traffic congestion at Ashok Rajpath.[5][6]
The first phase of the expressway was open to the public on 24 June 2022.[7] The second phase of Patna Marine Drive was inaugurated by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on 14 August 2023.[8][9]
