in 1996, survey work for the proposed bridge was initiated by the railways at three possible sites – digha–sonepur, gulzarbagh–hajipur and ict ghat–sonepur. ram vilas paswan was then the union railway minister and he lent his support to the gulzarbagh-hajipur site, as hajipur was the constituency from which he was elected. lalu prasad yadav, then chief minister of bihar, lent his support to the digha–sonepur site. in the wake of the conflicting support of the political heavy weights, disturbances broke out at sonepur. one person was shot dead. many experts opined in favour of building the rail bridge adjacent to the mahatma gandhi setu, the road bridge connecting hajipur with patna. however, political opinion prevailed and the digha–sonepur site was selected. rs. 24 million was spent on the survey alone. the proposal to construct the bridge was mentioned in the union budget of 1997-98 and at that time the estimated cost was rs 600 crores. the bridge was finally sanctioned during the term as union railway minister of nitish kumar, present chief minister of bihar. the scope of work was expanded when lalu prasad yadav was the union railway minister.
