Digha- AIIMS elevated tollway is under construction 11.9 KM long elevated corridor in city of Patna, Bihar.

The foundation for the first-of-its-kind elevated highway from AIIMS-Patna (on NH-98) to Digha was laid by chief minister Nitish Kumar on November 2, 2013. The project is being executed by Gammon India utilising funds to the tune of Rs 717.4 crore. The first two kilometres of the road starting from AIIMS-P has two lanes on a semi-elevated structure.

The road will not just reduce the time and distance between AIIMS-Patna and Digha. Vehicles from north Bihar will be able to zip directly to the southern part of the state capital.

From the AIIMS side, the first 3km of the road will have two lanes on a semi-elevated structure. It would culminate at the Bailey Road flyover located between Jagdeo Path and Saguna Mor. The remaining portion of the road will be four-lane, and elevated.
