Assam: CM Office Announces Multiple Projects for Guwahati City

GUWAHATI: The largest city of Northeast India, Guwahati has been developing by leaps and bounds in terms of both population and infrastructure as it takes strides towards becoming a smart city. Working in the same direction, the chief minister’s office has announced several new projects in the capital city. The announcement came over social media from the official handle of the CMO.

The first and most important is the opening of the new bridge over the Brahmaputra River. It was mentioned that the new 6-lane bridge will be completed by Diwali next year, which is just about a year away from now. This new bridge will connect the Bhutnath and Fancy Bazar localities of the city with North Guwahati. Thus reducing the load on the existing Saraighat Bridges. Also, the 6-lane structure will enable the parallel movement of multiple vehicles.

As a part of the expansion of the airport and to ensure the smooth movement of vehicles to and from the airport, a new 6-lane road will be constructed connecting Dharapur Chariali to the airport. An on-air rotary will also be constructed to ensure the smooth movement of the vehicles in the region.

Multiple locations in the city will receive flyovers in the coming year, as mentioned in the announcement. Some of them include the Bharalumukh Flyover, ABC Flyover, Downtown Flyover, Fatashil Read, Birubari to Lal Ganesh on Lokhra road with access to the ACA cricket stadium and RBI to Bamunimaidam with an on-air rotary.

A ropeway project has also been announced for the Kamakhya Temple and an elevated road from Maligaon to Kamakhya via Pandu. Rotaries will also be constructed at Bhootnath and Machkhowa. Another key project announced is the construction of a Ring Road in Guwahati which will ensure that the vehicles bypassing Guwahati do not get stuck in the traffic.
