Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari rolled out four highway projects for Assam today that entail an investment of Rs 1450 crores to give a big push to the state’s infrastructure.

The minister inaugurated the 4-Lane highway section between Nagaon Bypass-Teliagaon, and Teliagaon-Rangagara and laid the foundation for Mangaldai Bypass and the 4-lane section between Daboka-Parakhuwa in Assam, in the presence of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma through video conferencing today.

The 18 Km long 4-lane section between Nagaon Bypass-Teliagaon and Teliagaon-Rangagara has been built at a cost of Rs 403 crore. This widened highway enhances accessibility between North Assam and Upper Assam, which will spur economic growth and open new job opportunities for the people.
