Muzaffarpur Junction, one of Bihar’s busiest railway stations, is on its way to becoming a world-class transit hub. Under the World-Class Railway Junction Redevelopment Plan, major infrastructure projects like the Skywalk and Multi-Level Car Parking (MLCP) are nearing completion. The work is expected to gain full momentum after Chhath Puja — bringing long-awaited relief and convenience to daily passengers.

🚉 Skywalk Construction Progress

The Skywalk connecting the Combined Terminal Building (CTB) with the main junction is almost ready.

  • The structural framework is complete, while 70% of the pathway work has been finished.
  • The remaining 30% is expected to be completed before Chhath Puja.
  • Officials have hinted that the Skywalk will become operational immediately after Chhath, easing passenger movement between terminals.

🛤 Platform 6 to Open Before Chhath

Another major development is the expected opening of Platform 6 before Chhath. Once operational, it will help reduce congestion and improve train handling capacity at the junction.

🏗 Multi-Level Car Parking (MLCP)

After nearly three years of delay, the Multi-Level Car Parking (MLCP) construction has finally started.

  • The facility will be a three-story building, built behind the GRP police station.
  • Each floor will span about 2,700 sq. meters (150 meters long and 18 meters wide).
  • It will provide space for over 400 four-wheelers.
  • There will also be commercial shops inside the building, offering convenience for travelers.
  • The entire project is estimated to take two years to complete.

🧱 Other Completed Works

So far, several key buildings and facilities around Muzaffarpur Junction have already been completed:

  • Combined Terminal Building (CTB)
  • BES and CEB offices
  • Mechanical and UTS/PRS sheds
