This is a two way long bridge over Gandak river. It connects two part of Bagaha Subdivision in West Champaran district. It also connect West Champaran district of Bihar with Kushinagar District of Uttar Pradesh. Padrauna and Bettiah, two district headquarters are connected in short distance. So many beautiful scenery appears while traveling through bridge. You can mesmerize to see the scenario.

But need careful driving. Need to go in their own lane. You may found broken approach road.

बहुत ही शानदार पुल बना है जो UP Aur Bihar को जोड़ने का काम करता है
घूमने के लिए भी अच्छा जगह है आप पुल के समीप नीचे जा कर देख सकते है
हाँ जब पानी कम रहे तब
अक्सर लोग यहाँ 1st जनवरी को पिकनी मनाने आते है
अगर आप सेल्फी के दीवाने है तो आप यहाँ एक यादगार सेल्फी ले सकते है

This bridge connects UP and Bihar into one another. Due to this bridge becoming, it has become very easy for the Champaran people to go to UP. This bridge is built on the river Gandak. The easiest and closest road to go to Gorakhpur is this. The view of Gandak river looks very beautiful when going from bridge. It is located in a dhanaha Thakraha assembly. The length of this bridge is about 2 kilometers. Due to the formation of the bridge, the people of this area have become very good means of transport. There is also a great system of lighting for night at bridge. Due to the border of UP Bihar, there is also a police check post on this bridge.

The construction of this bridge has made commuting very easy between Ratwal Village (West Champaran, BIHAR) & Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. The roads on either sides of the border has witnessed significant transformation.
Scope of employment has improved drastically with people moving across, reduced travel time helps the people residing in Champaran have easy access to better healthcare & education facilities. **source of people feedback is indiapl.com
