Construction of two more bridges at Maligaon and Sarabhati is well underway. While the construction of the Maligaon Bridge is 20 percent done, the Sarabhati flyover is about 35 percent done. Unlike the newly inaugurated bridge at Supermarket, the Maligaon flyover will have four lanes and two-four lanes below it.
A new flyover will be constructed in Guwahati’s R G Baruah road connecting Gitanagar, the planning for the same is underway. Moreover, a new flyover will also be constructed in the city’s Chandmari area alongside the already existing iconic Chandmari Flyover. The plans of this ministry in terms of urban development are ambitious, to say the least.
Now coming to other projects planned state-wide, an AIIMS hospital is to be constructed within this financial year adding to the already existing government medical infrastructure of the state which is a commendable step upfront.
Other than that, a six-lane ring road is being discussed which will connect Assam’s Sipajhar and Kuruwa aiding long-distance travel. Lastly, a total of four bridges will be constructed as planned across the mighty river Brahmaputra.
