In the bidirected minimum Manhattan network problem , given a set T of n terminals in the plane, no two terminals on the same horizontal or vertical line, we need to construct a network N ( T ) of minimum total length with the property that the edges of N ( T ) belong to the axis‐parallel grid defined by T and are oriented in a such a way that every ordered pair of terminals is connected in N ( T ) by a directed Manhattan path. In this article, we present a polynomial factor 2‐approximation algorithm for the bidirected minimum Manhattan network problem. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. NETWORKS, Vol. 69(2), 167–178 2017
