Asked and answered by: Asked by Smt. Krishna Devi Shivshankar Patel; Answered by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (Minister Shri Nitin Jairam Gadkari).

What the government said

• NH-106 (Bihar): 135 km length under construction; physical progress is 99.74% for the Birpur-Bihpur section (likely completion 30.09.2026) and 96.60% for the Kosi River bridge section (likely completion 28.02.2027).

• Common reasons for delay cited include land acquisition/hindrance, slow contractor progress, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Specific delays for NH-107 include delay in removal of encroachments, delay in approval of ROB components by Railways/RITES, force majeure events (heavy rainfall/floods), contractor indebtedness, and irregular supply of fly ash.

Also in the document

• The answer provides detailed status and delay reasons for NH-106 and NH-107 in Bihar, but does not provide specific status details for NH-106 or NH-107 in Uttar Pradesh, as these specific highways are located in Bihar.
• The answer references Annexure-I and Annexure-II for the full list of NHs under construction in both states, but the provided text only contains the detailed table for Bihar (Annexure-I); the table for Uttar Pradesh is not present in the truncated document.
• For the Kosi River bridge on NH-106, the government cited a change in the bridge's Free River Level (FRL) due to navigational clearance issues by IWAI as a reason for delay.
