135-509: A population of 3,951,862, roughly equal to the nation of Liberia or the US state of Oregon . This gives it a ranking of 60th in India (out of a total of 640 ). The district has a population density of 1,493 inhabitants per square kilometre (3,870/sq mi). Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 21.37%. Saran has a sex ratio of 949 females for every 1,000 males, and

180-499: A grid of nearby one-way streets . A common setup is for one mainline to go below grade and another to go above grade. The intersection of the frontage roads is typically at grade or close to it. Two pairs of left-turn connectors are built above these. The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex has several five-level stacks, most notably the High Five Interchange between US 75 and I-635 ; completed in 2005 and currently

225-514: A railway line bisecting it at its lowest level. The M4/M25 junction is slightly offset so there is no point where all four levels are directly above each other. M25 (a north–south road at this junction) is offset to the east by approximately 60 metres (200 ft). The junction of the A19 and A66 in Teesside uses a three-level variant, with a 270-degree loop allowing southbound A19 traffic to exit to

270-597: A triangle; its apex is the confluence of the boundary of the Gopalganj district and the Gandak ;– Ganges river. The district is made up entirely of plains, but several depressions and marshes create three broad natural divisions: India's biggest double-decker flyover is being constructed in Chhapra . This 3.5 km (2.2 mi) long double-decker flyover from Gandhi Chowk to Nagarpalika Chowk,

315-481: A viaduct, with connector flyover ramps crossing on two further levels. This type of interchange does not usually permit U-turns . The four-level stack creates two "inverse" dual-carriageways —the turn ramps crossing the middle section have traffic driving on the opposite side of oncoming traffic to usual (see diagram for clarity). The first stack interchange was the Four Level Interchange (renamed

360-404: Is 26 km from the nearest city, Chhapra , and has good connectivity of transportation by rail and road. As of 2001 India census , Marhaura had a population of 24,534. Males constitute 52% of the population and females 48%. Marhaura has an average literacy rate of 42%, lower than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 54%, and female literacy is 29%. In Marhaura, 19% of the population

405-468: Is Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Airport in Patna , approximately 74 kilometres (46 mi) away. Stack interchange A directional interchange , colloquially known as a stack interchange , is a type of grade-separated junction between two controlled-access highways that allows for free-flowing movement to and from all directions of traffic. These interchanges eliminate the problems of weaving , have

450-584: Is a six-level stack on the Yan'an East Road Interchange ( Chinese : 延安东路立交 ) in Puxi, Shanghai, with no dedicated HOV/bus/truck lanes. It is six-level stack because it is formed by two elevated highways, Nanbei Elevated Road and Yan'an Elevated Road with service roads and a footbridge underneath. The centrally located interchange has a central pillar known as the Nine-Dragon Pillar ( 九龙柱 ). The story

495-624: Is also the only true four-level stack in Canada. Highway 407's other proposed four-level stacks at Highway 410 and Highway 404 were reduced to three-level cloverstack interchanges , with loop ramps being built instead of a fourth level of semi-directional ramps. Similarly, the interchange with Highway 427 has four levels but only two semi-directional flyover ramps that cross each other connecting to Highway 427 south of that junction. Two loop ramps link Highway 407 with Highway 427 north of that junction. In Belgium, on

540-532: Is being constructed at the cost of ₹ 411.31 crore from the central road fund (CRF) under engineering procurement construction (EPC) mode by Bihar Rajya Pul Nirman Nigam Limited (BRPNNL). It is longer than the 1.8 km (1.1 mi) double-decker flyover in Santa Cruz–Chembur Link Road . Chief Minister Nitish Kumar laid the foundation stone of this double-decker flyover in July 2018, which

585-514: Is not located near a body of water, most of the city's exports travel through the Port of Durban . The N2 connects Cape Town with Durban and serves the South African cities of Port Elizabeth , East London and George and the towns of Grahamstown , Port Shepstone , Richards Bay and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park . Two busy roads intersect at the junction. A four-level stack interchange

630-470: Is set to be completed by June 2022. The width of the flyover will be 5.5 meters. The double-decker flyover will be constructed from the eastern side of Bhikhari Thakur roundabout on NH- 19 crossing the police lines, Gandhi Chowk, Mouna Chowk, Nagarpalika (Rajendra) Chowk, bus stand and end at Daroga Rai Chowk near Zila school on the western side of Chhapra . The upper portion of the double-decker flyover bridge would be 3.5 km (2.2 mi) long and

675-570: Is that after several construction accidents, a monk suggested the nine-dragon be welcomed with a bas relief sculpture depicting the dragon. An unusual six-level stack is located at the junction between Interstate 35E and I-635 in Dallas, Texas , and does not contain any service or frontage roads. The interchange features two levels of highway with the top three levels consisting of direct connection ramps and HOV connectors. A single ramp leading from I-635 westbound to I-35E southbound weaves underneath

720-625: Is under 6 years of age. There is a Shakti Peetha temple, Gadhdevi Maa and an ancient temple of lord Shiva located at Shilhauri, that has many faithful followers. Both the temples are situated either side of railway station and 2 km from the railway station. Former Rail Minister Lalu Prasad had proposed a rail diesel engine factory in Marhaura, Saran however nothing happened after announcement. Finally land has been acquired in 2016-17 and construction work has started and chances are construction will be completed in 2018. The contract to develop

765-746: The Brussels Ring there are two four-level stack interchanges: The Grand-Bigard and Machelen interchange (only partly in use). In Germany, there is one, the Wetzlarer Kreuz . In Greece, there is also one four stack interchange near Metamorfosi , which connects the A1 and A6 (Attiki Odos) motorways. In the Netherlands there is currently one four-level stack interchange: the Prins Clausplein near The Hague . It forms

810-784: The Bill Keene Memorial Interchange), built in Los Angeles , California, and completed in 1949, at the junction of US Route 101 (US 101) and State Route 110 (SR 110). Since then, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has built eight more four-level stacks throughout the state of California , notably the Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange , as well as a larger number of three-level and four-level stack– cloverleaf hybrids (where

855-643: The I-635 eastbound bridge, making the interchange six levels. The interchange between I-35E and the Sam Rayburn Tollway in Lewisville, Texas , although similar in design to five-level stacks elsewhere in Texas, also qualifies as a six-level stack, since the ramp connecting the eastbound Sam Rayburn Tollway with northbound I-35E goes over the fifth-level ramps connecting I-35E in both directions with

900-530: The Nanjing's Yingtian Street Elevated has one each where it intersects the Inner Ring Road twice. Sometimes a fifth level is added for HOV connectors. An example of this exists in Los Angeles, California , at the Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange . The connector from HOV southbound 110 to HOV westbound 105 can be at the same level as the connector from mixed eastbound 105 to mixed northbound 110, but

945-508: The beltway's northwest quadrant. The newly reconstructed interchange of I-610 and I-69, with the new I‑610 northbound feeder road built underground and the new I-610 southbound feeder road overpass, is also a five-level stack interchange. Though not a Texas-style stack in the above sense, an unusual stack is nonetheless found in Houston that features more than four levels of traffic but whose fifth level exists in only one direction. In 2011,

990-454: The city of Hartford . Most of the I‑291 beltway was later cancelled, and the sprawling stack lay dormant for almost 25 years. In 1992 the extension of Connecticut Route 9 to I-84 used the I‑291 right-of-way and some sections of the abandoned interchange. Several ramps still remain unused, including abandoned roadbed for I-291 both north and south of the complex. Four-level stacks are used for

1035-662: The connector from HOV southbound 110 to HOV eastbound 105 needs to be higher level, since it crosses over the former connector. Another case is where connection to nearby arterials suggests that another level may be useful, thus making the interchange more complicated but easier to use. In the Atlanta area, a side ramp forms the fifth level of the Tom Moreland Interchange , colloquially known as Spaghetti Junction , found in DeKalb County, Georgia . There

1080-522: The district, beyond which lie the districts of Bhojpur and Patna. To the north of Saran lie the districts of Siwan and Gopalganj. The Gandak river forms the dividing line with the Vaishali and Muzaffarpur districts in the east. To the west of Saran lie the districts of Siwan and Balia in Uttar Pradesh. The Ghaghra river forms a natural boundary between Saran and Ballia. The district is shaped like

1125-562: The eastern end of C-470 and the southern end of E-470 . In Thornton, Colorado , there is another stack serving I-25 and E-470 at its northern end as it continues west as the Northwest Parkway . The initial design of Highway 407 had several four-level stack interchanges planned at junctions with existing 400-series highways , but only one example was built: the interchange at Highway 400 in Vaughan, Ontario , which

Saran district It is considered as one of the richest zamindaris of Bihar after Raj Darbhanga , Hathwa Raj , Bettiah Raj and Raj Najarganj, Saran Raj . It is said that "Saran" is a corrupted version of the word Sarangaranya (forest of deer). According to legend, earlier it

1215-430: The highest vehicle capacity, and vehicles travel shorter distances when compared to different types of interchanges. The first directional interchange built in the world was the Four Level Interchange which opened to Los Angeles traffic in 1949. A directional interchange is a grade separated junction between two roads where all turns that require crossing over or under the opposite road's lanes of travel to complete

1260-568: The interchange the fifth level, as US 90 to I-10 westbound merges onto I-10 before crossing I-610. (None of the frontage roads for these highways cross the interchange itself, and thus do not factor into the complexity of the stack.) More than 40 bridges make up the five-level stack interchange known as the Big ;I between I-40 and I-25 in Albuquerque, New Mexico . China is also home to many Texas-style stack interchanges. For example

1305-409: The interchanges between: Another well-known stack interchange lies west of Baltimore, Maryland , serving as the junction between I-695 and I-70 . It was originally built for a planned extension of I‑70 into the city. Due to strong opposition, I‑70 ends at a park and ride three miles (4.8 km) east. As a result, the road east of I‑695 sees little traffic compared to the high volumes to and from

1350-954: The junction of the A4 and A12. In the United Kingdom there are three four-level stacks: at the junction of the M4 and M25 near Heathrow Airport in London (the Thorney Interchange ), at the junction of the M23 and M25 to the south of London (the Merstham Interchange), and at the junction of the M4 and M5 near Bristol (the Almondsbury Interchange ). The M4/M25 junction is particularly unusual as it also has

1395-550: The least-used left-turning ramp is built as a cloverleaf-like 270-degree loop). The stack interchange between I-10 and I-405 is a three-level stack, since the semi-directional ramps are spaced out far enough so they do not need to cross each other at a single point as in a conventional four-level stack. The first four-level stack interchange in Texas was built in Fort Worth at the intersection of I-35W and I-30 (originally I-20) near downtown. This interchange, finished in 1958,

1440-576: The lower portion 3 km (1.9 mi). Saran was earlier called a 'money order economy' district, as people used to send remittances in money order to their families there. It is one of the 38 districts in Bihar currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF). It is a primarily agriculture based rural and suburban region with little industrial output. This can partly be attributed to

1485-430: The non business friendly socialism inspired governments led by RJD in the region from 2001 to 2014. That period was marked by unethical election practices. The present collector and District Magistrate of Saran is IAS Aman Samir. The Divisional Commissioner is Sarvanan M(I.A.S). The district has three subdivisions, 20 community development blocks and 1,807 villages. According to the 2011 census Saran district has

1530-541: The pre-medieval period. The archaeological records suggest transitions in human habitation patterns in Chirand dating from 2500 BC to 30 AD. Hathwa Raj was a zamindar dynasty in the Saran division of Bihar belonging to Bhumihars , which encompassed 1,365 villages, was inhabited by more than 391,000 people, and produced an annual rental of almost a million rupees. The Hindi version of Saran Gazetteer titled as Srijan

1575-404: The previously four-level stack interchange between I-610 and I-10 on the city's east side gained a new (though long-planned) level of complexity with the opening of four ramps connecting the new US 90 (Crosby Freeway) to the east, featuring direct movements for the new freeway to and from the southeast quadrant of I-610, to westbound I-10, and from eastbound I-10. It is the latter ramp which gives

1620-741: The tallest interchange in the world. Others can be found at the interchanges between State Highway 121 (SH 121) and the Dallas North Tollway , SH 121 and I-35E / US 77 , I-30 and I-35W , I-30 and President George Bush Turnpike and others which are technically five levels but do not fit under a Texas-style stack configuration (i.e. the extra level being located away from the central stack or existing in only one direction). The Houston area has seven five-level stack interchanges along Beltway 8 : at I-10 east and west of downtown, I-69 northeast and southwest of downtown, I-45 north and south of downtown, and US 290 in

1665-401: The turn utilize ramps that make a direct or semi-direct connection. The difference between direct and semi-direct connections is how much the motorist deviates from the intended direction of travel while on the ramp. Direct ramps are shorter and can handle higher traveling speeds than semi-direct. The four-level stack (or simply four-stack ) has one major freeway crossing another freeway with

1710-455: The upgraded interchange opened in October 2018. A four-level stack interchange was chosen to serve the increasing volumes of traffic in the uMhlanga/Mount Edgecombe area. In Texas , many stacks contain five levels. They usually have the same configuration as four-level stacks, but frontage roads add a fifth level. The frontage roads usually intersect with traffic lights and are similar to

1755-458: The west. Another four-level stack interchange in the Baltimore area is located at the northeastern junction between I-695 and I-95 . The stack was built as part of a massive I-95 reconstruction project that includes high-occupancy toll lanes (HOT lanes), designed to relieve congestion between Baltimore and its northeastern suburbs. The Springfield Interchange , south of Washington, D.C. ,

1800-621: The westbound A66. The Light Horse Interchange at the junction of the M4 and M7 is a four-level stack interchange in Sydney , New South Wales, Australia. Opened in late 2005, it is the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. The EB Cloete Interchange just outside Durban, South Africa , is another four-level stack interchange. The N3 is the busiest highway in South Africa and a very busy truck route. Because Johannesburg

1845-525: Was a dense forest full of deer and the home of Rishi Sarangi. Another suggestion is that the name is corruption of Sakra-aranya (the forest of Indra). Chirand , 10 kilometres east of Chhapra, is a stratified Neolithic , Chalcolithic , and Iron Age settlement, which is known for its continuous archaeological record from the Neolithic age (about 2500–1345 BC) to the reign of the Pal dynasty who ruled during

1890-504: Was chosen to serve the high volumes of traffic. The Mount Edgecombe Interchange is another four-level stack interchange just outside Durban, South Africa , and is the intersection between the N2 (to Durban and KwaDukuza ) and the M41 (to Mount Edgecombe and uMhlanga ). The interchange which was previously a simple diamond interchange was upgraded to a four-level/four-stack interchange, with

1935-494: Was known as "The Pretzel" or the "Mixmaster" by locals. The original contract cost was $ 1,220,000. Improvements to the old Mixmaster over the past 60 years include an upgrade to a Texas-style five-level stack exchange (see below). One of the first four-level stack interchanges in the northeastern United States was constructed in the late 1960s over I-84 in Farmington, Connecticut , for the controversial I-291 beltway around

1980-584: Was rebuilt into a four-level stack to accommodate I-95 's transition from the Capital Beltway to its own alignment further south into Virginia. This was necessitated by the inadequacy of the original configuration that was caused by the rerouting of I-95 onto the Beltway after its cancellation within Washington and points north. In Lone Tree, Colorado , there is a four-level stack serving I-25 ,

2025-524: Was released in September 2016. Saran district occupies an area of 2,641 square kilometres (1,020 sq mi), equivalent to Drenthe province in the Netherlands. The district of Saran is situated between 25°36' and 26°13' north latitude and 84°24' and 85°15' east longitude in the southern post of the Saran Division of North Bihar.
