The road from Patna
Patna to Muzaffarpur is a straight run north: across the Ganga on the Gandhi Setu or the J. P. Setu, through Hajipur, then up the highway past Bhagwanpur and Goraul. The river crossing decides the day. A truck that clears the bridge before the morning rush can unload in Muzaffarpur before noon, and a small home is often packed and set up the same day.
