Start
National Highway 28 starts at the junction with National Highway 31 near Barauni and passes north-west through DalsinghSarai, Samastipur, Muzaffarpur, Motipur, Mehsi and Chakia, turns westwards at Piprakothi about 10 km (6.2 mi) before Motihari, again becomes north-west bound near Gopalganj and leaves the state past Kuchai Kot to enter Uttar Pradesh. National Highway 28 is 259 km (161 mi) - long in Bihar.

Ditch patch
Although well maintained otherwise, NH 28 has bad strip of 40 km (exact) in between Saryu river bridge and UP-Bihar border (near Gopalganj, Bihar). This portion of the highway is full of unsafe and eroded ditches (the depth of which is very difficult to judge from beyond 3 ft). If driving through NH28 in a light-vehicle, it is advisable to cross this patch of highway before dark and avoid it during heavy rains. The situation of this part is generally attributed to lower topography, heavy rains and indifferent attitude of corrupt representatives.[citation needed]
Accidents
It is one of busiest national highway in country and also facing various frequent life losing accidents on it. The main cause behind accidents are unexpected broken road-divider by local population for their ease to cross road. Recently an accident blocking the highway for around 5 hours (which led to around 35 kilometer-long close traffic on NH), took place by students of Sri Ramswaroop Memorial College of Engineering and Management Lucknow because of frequent deaths of students and staff of the college.[1]
