So far, 62,968.34 km of road length has been sanctioned under PMGSY-III to 16 States, against which 13,827.25 km has been completed. State-wise details of target, sanctioned and completed works under PMGSY-III as on 23.07.2021 is given at Annexure-I .

(b) to (d)  Since inception of PMGSY, 7,67,784 km and 9,388 Long Span Bridges (LSBs) have been sanctioned  to  all  the  States/  UTs  under  all  the  interventions/  verticals  of  PMGSY,  against  which 6,70,340 km and 5,958 LSBs have been completed. State-wise details of the same as on 23.07.2021 is given at Annexure-II .

The State of Bihar has been allocated a target of 6,162.50 km road length under PMGSY-III. The State has been sanctioned 1390.31 km of road length under PMGSY-III till 23.07.2021.

As per the programme guidelines, the sanctioned works should be completed within a period of 12 working  months  from  the  date  of  issue  of  the  work  order.  In  this  connection  it  has  been  further clarified in the programme guidelines that: where a package comprises more than one roadwork, the total time given for completion of the package shall not exceed 18 calendar months. Similarly, time period of 21-24 months would be allowed for completion of bridges exceeding 25-meter in length, depending on site conditions.  Accordingly Annual Action Plans are made for completion of roads. The same is constantly reviewed by the Ministry with the State Governments.

PMGSY-III as a whole is targeted for completion by 31 st March 2025 for all the States/ UTs.
